They live!

Well it has almost been a week since we brought the baby chickens back to my community. Everything went swimmingly the day I went to pick them up. I meet the man from the ministry of agriculture in the morning and with only a slight delay and two other errands he needed to run we got to the meeting point with the delivery car a few minutes before they did. We loaded the 500 one day old chickens into the cab of the truck and started home (after of course paying some bills for a friend of the driver). Every time we went over a little bump or went around a corner there would be a chorus of peeping from the birds. We distributed the 500 birds between 23 families and today we vaccinate them for the first time, and I have only heard of one dying so far. Which actually might not be a good thing since I was calculating that at least 15% would die, hopefully there will be enough food to keep them alive until they start laying eggs!

Chickens

Well I got 3 minutes to tell it all.

Tomorrow the chicken project starts for real.

500 baby chicks will be arriving.

I just finished buying the stuff to make heat lamps for all of the little preciouses.

The most optimistice estimate I have heard is half will die. I hope not. I could look like the gingo I am if that happens.

What's more? Somone stole 600 dollars from my house that was for the project. Luckily we have enough to make it through until Feb, hopefully we will have figured something out by then.

WOO!
