My son came into my office this morning, looked around, and said, "Do you have any idea how many animals are in this room right now?" After taking a quick head count...keep in mind there were 2 dogs and a cat, too...I looked at him and said, "48." He shook his head and walked out. I really don't know what the big deal is. Most of them are less than 2 weeks old. I'm sure many of you have birds in parts of your house, too, right? I mean really! Is 45 chicks really THAT many-- Wait! I just put eggs in the hatcher that are due Monday. Do they count, too?
