How many chicks did you order?

I ordered 105 chicks for February (60 meat birds and 45 pullets) and a hatchery surprise box of 40-50 chicks for May. So 140-150 chicks from Cackle at an average cost of $3.33. We currently have 86 birds (including 9 males) but 1/3 of those will find new homes over the winter and early spring as we pick out next year's breeders and layers.

We received two blue Swedish ducks and a Rouen last year. They were incredible healthy and grew like weeds. Cute little messy buggers!

I found them a home when they were about 18 weeks old so I never found out. The pair were digging up our water line to make a mud puddle so we decided to wait until we had a better place so we could enjoy their duck antics without cringing!
