A Blog by Chicken Wrangler Sara
Several classes at my new school hatched chicks recently. It has been fun to check on them especially during the stress of the last weeks of school. I think “chick therapy” is a great thing.
This morning the 2nd grade teacher told me she had found homes for all but three of the chicks. Being a Chicken Wrangler, I felt compelled to wrangle them to our house. When I went to pick them up, there were actually four that needed a home.
I figure since these chicks were hatched at a school, they should be smarter than the average chicks. My only question is will the ones hatched in the 6th grade class be smarter?
Lucky you. I try to stay away from the feed store in the spring. They put those tubs of baby chickens right at the door to tempt me. I could take them home to cuddle and hey, how much trouble could it be to put those little darlings in the kitchen where I used to cook. Somehow, after reading your blog I’m afraid there might be more to raising fluffy little sweet things than that.
