I did this a couple of years ago and ended up with a whole bunch of chickens. Then switched to quail cuz I could eat them (loved those eggs, btw). I just had to hatch. I built this huge old coop and my hens free range. Will have to rehab my old coop for my silkies...may have to build a third...
Well, I started out with 12 blue wheaten marans. A gf offered me a dozen black copper marans. Bought 24 mixed purebreds including ameracaunas, austalorps and marans, 12 silkies and just now 20 mixed top hat specials from Murray mcMurray. I sure hope I'm done!! LOL I've got my Dickey heating...
Okay, so I was going to incubate a *few* eggs for my gkids to watch. Just a few.....just a few.... I've gone mad. I have over 6 dozen eggs coming. Stop me, somebody stop me!!
Not sure what I will do with all of these babies, but am so looking forward to having them around again. Thanks...
