Thank you for all of your input. I do have several freezers, and the birds will be split between several families. I will likely combine several of your suggestions, including ice water, coolers and spreading things out. Those that are going to other house holds, I will pass on the...

So this year I decided to do meat chickens. I went ahead and ordered 100. My issue is I keep reading that they have to chill for a couple of days in the fridge before using or freezing. How in the world is this done? I can't fit 100 chickens in my refrigerators. Granted, they aren't all for...

That is good to know TwoCrows. Hatch day is officially today. So far we are of to a slow start, 11/60.

Sorry about your flock DouginMT.

I split my male and female Coturnix today. I ended up with 8 girls and 5 for sure boys (I think ) and one maybe. The "maybe" has a red chest but also spots so I am thinking male. Regardless I will only be keeping two/three males so that one is out in my book. They are 4.5 weeks old so I still...
