Ha! Ha! Well our 16 became 20 when we added 4 black sex links. Then surprise! 4 of our pullets are roosters. But we have survived the hottest summer in the state in years. All our chix lived and so did i. Now we are as of yesterday getting 8 eggs a day from the ladies.

thank you. We are hoping to only have one cockerels then! We are wanting layers. And I've heard roosters are terrotorial. "Not enuff room in this pen for us all." The kids and I (mostly me) are very excited about this new venture.

Welllllll.....we are so new, we've already goofed a little. We bought 8 pullets which we now know isn't a breed but an age. 4 silkies--and 4 "banties" which I now know is a size. So. ...12 surprise chickis and 4 silkies! So as I said. ...we'll have lots of questions! I've wanted chickens for...

We just finished our chicken coup and we're ready to put in our 16 chicks. They've been in our dining room for the last 3 weeks. We've sure to have plenty of questions. Some you've answered already. Thanks! !
