So Many Choices

Elsie was checking out a chick to see if this was one she wanted to choose.

They were patient clerks.

Grandpa loves having the Grandkids go to the feed store and pick out new baby chicks.

There are so many choices.

The chicks are labeled with signs outside their cages.  The labels give information

about the breed of chicken:  

quiet & docile.

shy & gentle.

friendly

can be aggressive...etc.

They also provide info. about their laying habits:

Lays 3 times a week,

or 3-4 eggs a week.

light brown eggs.

bluish green eggs.

brown eggs with spots.

large white eggs

blue eggs

So you see the decision just get harder and harder.

Once the decisons are made, the clerk catches the chick and puts it in a box. They like to put several in one box so that they can keep each other warm.

We had a box with 2 chicks.

a box with 6 chicks

and 2 boxes with 4 chicks.
