Coming Home to Roost

The old adage that goes, "all chickens come home to roost," as you may know, usually means that you have to face the consequences of your mistakes. I'm not sure if that's what has happened at Golden Pines or not.  But yesterday the owner of the five chicks that I was caring for last week (see my previous post) contacted me because she was unable to find anyone to take them after the BlogPaws conference and she asked if I would take them. Of course I agreed to take them back, and I picked them up last evening.  Living in a farming community, I easily found a new home for all of them.  They will be with us until Tuesday.
I'm thinking that Todd is okay with that.
I think Charlie is too.
And so is Josh.
I wonder if the chicks are?

  2. Little sweeties! (The chicks.) Glad they have homes. And Josh and Todd are big sweeties.. or i guess in Todd's case, a sort of middle sized sweetie. :) But nothing middle sized about his heart. I can tell. Have a great week!

  6. Those chicks are super cute! Not sure Mom would let me close enough to them for me to decide if I was OK with them. She'd probably think I might try to chase them being a terrier and all.

  9. Not so sure the chicks are enjoying the up close and personal attention by the dogs ;-)

    Enjoy your time as a chick momma.

  13. If only you were my neighbor, because your the best! I went back and looked at the other post, and LOVE the pic of Todd and the feather. These pics of all of the dogs watching the chicks are just adorable.

  15. Were these babies demonstration items? Poor little things. Your place is a chicken hostel. Those little babies will fine a new home in no time. (In response to another blog, I told my husband that chickens eat mice and lots of other stuff, and I think he may be softening at the idea of having them in the future. I'm not going to push my luck just now, tho.)

  17. Your pictures say it all. If you would not have posted any thing but the pictures, I think us followers would have known exactly what you had posted.
    Todd is so cute. Gotta love that little guy.
    Good luck with the new owners.

  20. The chicks were quite a draw for JNC and I know Flea appreciated everything you did to help make it happen.

    I imagine the chicks are for the dogs, like TV is for us.

  21. You are just so kind to do that. Looks like Todd would like some chicks of his own.

  22. That picture of Charlie is superb. You should get it framed!

  23. They are adorable, and I can see the dogs think so too! Maybe you should keep them. Nice fresh eggs every morning??? Chickens to herd about the yard? Sounds like fun to me!

  25. You are something else again, Kim. Fostering chicks is probably not an easy job with the dogs around. Makes me smile!

  26. Oh I am sure the chicks are very very happy to be back with the pack of furry smiling faces!

  27. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! My dogs make the exact same face when I have chicks in the house. Right now my Flash gets that look when I'm snuggling with the gosling. Those chicks sure have grown quickly, haven't they? I'm glad you found homes for those five!

  28. you are just the best friend any kind of animal ever had!
    i love these pictures.
    you'll be happy to know they're picking up all the animals in the wreckage and treating their injuries and taking them to shelters so people can reunite with them. i'm so relieved. and i thought of you. xo

  29. Your dogs got some entertainment they didn't expect. I'm afraid mine would make chicken dinners of those little cute yellow things.
