Am I getting too many?

[nikkimay]

It all depends on how much space, time and money you have to devote to them... There is no one number that will suit everybody. We started with 3 two and a half years ago and just made the jump to 4, and for us that was a big decision.

Just do you research and be sure you know what you are getting into.

my first 8 are arriving tomorrow and my dh...trust me doesn't stand for darling right now.....still doesn't have my coop built!!!!

It's a nice size coop & run you have so I dont think you have too many at all. Hand feed them & let them hear your voice when you walk towards the cage and you will have friendly birds. You will have too many when you cant keep up with the cleaning & it gets sloppy

I went to the hatchery to purchase a "few" and I was like a kid in a candy shop...I left with twenty..only because DH put a stop to it.

I had never raised baby chicks in my life nor been around them much. They will be four weeks old thurs. and doing great!! No such thing as too many chicks!!!
