Hatcheries that vaccinate for coccidiosis

In country on 2.5 acres but my coop only holds around 18-19 adults so what I meant was pushing the limits of capacity not what I can take care of. I already own 12 chickens so I don't want to buy chicks that I have to overcrowd in a coop before I can sell extras. Also I can't free range so they all are in a run. I don't struggle to care for them I just want them to have spacious living arrangements.
Oh, okay.

My birds don't free range either, but have 3 large coops. One of which will be getting an expansion soon.

Chicken math has hit me too, but working on a butcher list, so older birds, & culls are removed in the fall months. So, we're only keeping certain birds back for breeding/laying.

Struggling is just a word I use occasionally, to replace Keep Up With. I'm just a little weird that way :p .
 
Yes, that is an interesting comment. By giving clean pure organic non-GMO feed, to keep your chickens healthy, could be detrimental to their health? .... hmmmmm 🤔
That doesn't sound right, just sayin. With all of the poison & toxins they put in our air, food, water etc .... I think it's a must to feed your chickens organic foods both feed & fruits & vegetables etc... IMHO
If you've found that the organic feed doesn't have the appropriate percentage of what they need. Just make sure they get it in other food/supplement variations, No?
This ^^ My thoughts exactly about why Organic is a necessity.

Though to me I just means I have to do some label reading. Find an Organic feed that has the right percentages, or supplement. No biggie to me.

Np I would love more birds but space is always a issue. I don't have the heart to cull so I just keep them till they are gone. If I hatch to many boy I sell though.... I just have to keep myself from getting attached lol 😆

I have my birds in away that's easy to butcher. It's knowing that they had a good happy life, with lots of healthy food, & space to roam, & the fact they'd be adding food to the table is their new purpose.

Certain birds I keep back, as pets, these ones live longer lives, & die naturally.

P.S: Most of my birds have names.
