Boy, has it been a long day. It was chick day at my house. I raise 50 or so chicks to 7 weeks and sell them off to people who've usually pre-ordered them. mostly people who don't want to bother with brooding.
Well, 2 customers that pre-ordered didn't come get them. One I knew wasn't going to be able to and the other just didn't show up.
Good thing I had a back up. Unlike last time when I got stuck for over a week with chicks not getting picked up, I told them that they had to pick them up between 10:00am and 1:00pm today or they would be sold. Lucky for me I had a person waiting for the extras. Plus, I got 2 roos in the bunch and he even took one of them.
So now all I have left is one EE roo and 2 speckled sussex's I was keeping for myself anyway.
So I cleaned up the coop and moved all my new layers into the coop. They seem a little troubled but all is good.
I also helped DH build a pig pen. 2 pigs are coming tomorrow. I guess it's finally spring.
