Just in case you didn’t believe my chicken story . . .

Posted on February 19, 2013 by apronheadlilly

Here is proof positive. See the love.

This is before they grow up to be idiots and before my vandalism escapade.

Gotta love the wardrobe, right. I was stylin’. Cool chick. Pun intended. 🙂

I gotta say, there is a little devilish glint in your eye. It’s kind of scary!!! And yes, your fashion statement was about as elegant as mine! Wow!!! LOL! We were really cooooool back then! Ha!

  I talked to my mom and asked her how many we’d get at a time. In my head, I thought it was 500, but I started to imagine 500 in our big henhouse, and that didn’t seem possible. I guess we got 50-60 at a time. A bit different–off by a 0. 🙂 Seemed a lot to a kid.

Baby chicks are so cute at that puff ball age. 🙂 We were all wearing those outfits at the time.

  And we called the shoes “running shoes.” 🙂

      Running shoes whether we ran or not. They should have been just called cheap for a family of 9 shoes. 🙂

  This was the year we had the chicks above our “back” kitchen; we called it the attic, and it was a big high-ceilinged storage room that I daydreamed in.

I totally believed your story without a picture. I could feel your aggravation! But this photo is great! You were right in style.

  I guess it was country style for an 11-year-old. 🙂

Yeah, I always thought chicks were soooo cute until they grew up and chased me! (and man did their cages smell, ugh) 🙂
