An Iguana Bulb

So I started out today by waking up at 6:50am. 6:50! ( hey you. $6.50!) haha, anybody know what that's from?
But I forced myself back to sleep and slept in until 8:30. I texted Prozac and then she called me back confirming that today was the day I would meet this so-called teacher who'd hatched some adoptive chicks for me. So she picked me up at around 11am and we went to RP elementary to check out a homeless chicken names Jasmine.
Jasmine was about twice the size of my other chicks at home, but she was too pathetically alone to leave her stranded. So now she's mine. I stuck her in a cage inside the big chicken coop so that the older chicken, Mo, can check her out but not be able to hurt her. Mo doesn't like having a new chicken on her turf. I tried letting then alone without a cage, but Mo just wanted to attack Jasmine, so now they must learn to coexist through bars.
I looked up how to introduce new chicks to an old flock,and it reassured me that the best way to do it is very sneakily. By just slowly moving them closer and closer every day. And before they realize it, Woo! How'd this strange chicken get in my nest? Then they're friends.
You have to do this over and over again until all the birds are the same size and can get along with each other. Otherwise they peck the snot (do birds have snot??) out of each other.
Since I just out of school for the summer though, I have plenty of time on my hands to introduce and break apart, and watch closely to see how they do.
My other option was to take home three 4-day old chicks with the assistance of a heating lamp. I decided to wait until they were weaned off heating lampage and then take them home. So age group by age group, they'll all be integrated into the Miller Flock.
Probably the only way mom is letting me get away with this is through the line " Oh how the grandchildren will love coming to Grams house and petting the chickens."
And also behind the fact that I promised to do all the letting in and out, all the cages cleanings, water changes, and food changes.
Yup. I've got an interesting and very tiring summer ahead of me. It'll all be worth it when they get along, and I have a huge flock of chickens that produce dark brown, and blue-green eggs. :]
