I am not setting eggs. I do not want chicks in my house for the next two months.

Lol...I'm not either this year. It gives us more time to be the cheering squad!

That sounds awesome! The more the merrier!

Lol...sounds like me. I've got 7 - 5 week olds from the Halloween HAL. I moved them to the shop when they started escaping. We had a late fall, but it's dropped from -3C to -33C in the last 2 weeks. I'm glad I'm not bringing anymore chicks into this weather. And I "may" have enough chickens anyway. (I started with just 5 last year...lol!)

I set eighteen d'Uccle eggs today. Blacks, Andalusian Blues, Mille Fleurs, and Silver Mille Fleurs.
Thankfully, I have heated grow out pens(used to be a milkhouse), so I don't have to keep them inside all winter.
