Back y'all
Just finished filling this container I found while cleaning the barn with birdseed meant to last me through to spring for the chooks.

Oooh. Ouch.
I just realized how many chicks I lost this summer.
12. I lost 12.
Patience
Tanzi
Pemba
Kendwa
Zanzi
EE #1
EE #2
5 D'Uccles.

And then adults that I lost...
2 Buff Orpingtons
1 ISA Brown
1 D'Uccle Cock
1 D'Uccle Pullet
2 Bantam Cochins.

Damn Summer of 2018 sucked!

Wow I don't think I've lost that many since I've gotten back into chickens 5 or so years

Yeah... I'm not proud of it
Most of the deaths were from my mistakes which stings but the truth hurts.

How much did it cost you? I want to become NPIP

We were advised to do independent flock so it was $100, plus $35 to P-T test the birds.

I’m lucky I had the egg sitting on the table. I would have dropped it when I saw these.
