new chicks in the neighborhood

Check it! The neighbors just got chickens!
They drove all the way to Wisconsin to pick them up at Uncle Whatever's farm. They put them in a box and punched some holes in the box and put the box in the back of their minivan and drove them home. 94 was closed because of flooding so they had to take tons of detours and it took hours and hours longer than it should have and those eggs better be so damn good you have no idea. (My favorite part of this story is how they stopped to get food on the way home and the kids had chicken nuggets. They ate in the car. That's what we in the business like to call "letting them know who's boss".)
The [adorable] 5-some is currently living in a dog kennel in the garage while the finishing touches are put on their new hen house. After that, construction will begin on 5 tiny Volvo station wagons. (To help them feel at home in the neighborhood.) In about 4 months they'll start rocking out eggs. Like one every 26 hours or something. Quick math: 5 eggs a day = 35/week = kick ass omelets for everyone and more. OMG I can't wait.
They let junior "adopt" one of them. He named it Mary. I have no idea which one it is. I lost track like 10 seconds after he named it. I hope that's not going to be a problem.
Great stuff.

Great post, except you forgot the part about the 20-year Colombian with acute bird phobia who was trapped in the minivan for a 6-hour drive with us and the chicks. Don't know what was worse for her - the Wendy's lunch or knowing she had to endure the drive home with these terifying birds.
