Hi, this is Neatnik, guest blogging for Mommy again. I was supposed to tell you all about our second week of owning chickens. Alas, we learned by last Friday night, that Mommy has extreme allergies to chickens! It started out with some itchiness and then she couldn't breathe after she handled them.
Wah-wah-WAH!
Daddy sent text messages to people we know who already have some chickens - but nobody could take more chicks. Then on Saturday morning, we got a phone call from the pipe major of Daddy's band. One of the chicken owners had forwarded Daddy's message to him. Pipey had a chicken coop in his yard already. All he needed was some chickens.
Mommy's Note: Pipey and his wife had been planning chicken ownership for two years and they had decided that five chickens was the perfect number for their yard. She said to him earlier last Friday that they should get chickens on Father's Day but he was hemming and hawing about still wanting to tweak the coop setup some. Then Number Guy's text message got forwarded to him - saying that there were five chickens in need of a new forever home. Yeah, it was meant to be.
Daddy delivered Elle, Emma, Dee, Ash, and Red to their new home right away. Daddy called their new home a chicken mansion.
Pipey says I can visit when I like but I haven't visited them yet. We are supposed to go over there tomorrow and I hope to take some pictures then.
I am glad they have a nice home, but I really am missing them, too.

Oh no! I did not expect that to happen. I'm sorry that the chicks had to move to another home but we don't want Mommy to be sick either.
Lucky you that you get to see them and they are in a good home.
Oh drat! I'll bet that Pipey and Mrs. Pipey will let you come and help take care of them this summer. Poor Mommy.
I'm glad you'll still get to see them!
That's sad for you but nice that Pipey and Mrs Pipey get some new friends. Poor Mommy :(
