RE: New Chicks!!! - Sunday Freewrite
Why did you buy them upfront ? Why not when the lands there? The hunt is great though. Here the prizes are so high due to to little houses for to many people

We bought them up front because the girls want to do 4-H - which is an agricultural club for youth. Our fair is really early too (early July) because it is in tandem with our rodeo. So, if we wait, they will miss out this year.
I actually started out asking our (4-H poultry) superintendent whether the girls could borrow someone's chicken for showmanship (where the judge looks at what the child has learned about their project and how they handle them), and she offered to host our chickens until we get land. That's better for the girls, because then it's their own chickens they show.
So, we will be visiting every couple of days to check on them and clean up after them, though the hosts will also be watching them as well.
