If I get my barn built this year I'll probably shoot for tons more lol. I have 4 different coops right now. Hatching silkies at the moment just for fun (not for eggs). I might hit some Easter sales to add assortment to my flock this year. My chickens started as a homeschool project and I fell in love lol. went from 11 to 31. I would have 33 but 2 died . I'm hatching in the house think hubby would kill me if I did as many as you lol. especially since i keep them in livingroom 2 months min.
I heard baby chicks make lots of dusts, so I'm only allowed to set up brooder in our garage. How bad does it look in livingroom? If it's not that bad, I will consider to move the brooder to family room.
