old 4her getting back into the swing of things: ]

Hey all : ]

 

My name is Tricia and I grew up doing chickens, dairy goats and cows, and beef goats. I did it for about a month and then we sold the animals : [ Now being 19 almost 20y/o, I am getting back into the swing of things!! I have 3 polish, 7 silkies, 4 standard cochin (2 chicks that were just turned out in the coop and then a roo and hen), about 20 bantam cochins, 6 ameracauna chicks, 3 mallards and 2 pekings just over the course of the last month and collecting. I also have 1 egg in the incubator. I had 3, one was infertile, other one died. Hatch date for the one egg is monday!! I am trying to start a breeding program considering I do want to sell chicks and chickens. Hopefully this forum will help me find everything I need!! : ]

 

Thanks!!

Tricia : ]

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
