Hello from Wilson County, Texas

Thread Starter 

I don't have any complaints. I have 12 -3 month old Polish chicks, 12 Guinea, and 25 Americana. The last two groups are less than a month old. I raised chickens as a child and I am passing that onto my children. My new group are almost full of feathers. I will mix them in a week or two. They are starting to fly so the move will be soon. I have a heated coop so I am not worried. I will be getting 25 Polish pullets on June 10th. My first group was 25 straight run. I received 7 pullets total. We are going to sell eggs to earn money for fun. My daughter is 11 and learning that things die, things grow if you care for them. My son 13 is learning that if you work hard you will be rewarded. I am one proud mommy!  yesss.gif The only other animal we have right now is a golden mix dog.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan big_smile.png

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

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

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

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