Any SE South Dakota peeps here?

lol them broody hens pull at your heartstrings. My silkie went broody in Nov and the same thing happened, nothing hatched. I was able to get 5 eggs from the gal that sold her to me and 1 of them hatched so she did get her chick. Now they are in my garage until it is warmer out.
I was in TS a couple days ago and they have their chicks in already. Did not dare even look at them! I have 12 hatching eggs and 25 chicks on order. Not sure where I am going to put everything if they arrive before warmer weather gets here. Told my son-in-law I need 1 more coop built. It’s that chicken math everyone on BYC talks about.

I was in TSC the other day and they had some good looking RIR's and a bunch of others. I figure about mid April they will start showing up on Craigslist as give aways after people get them for Easter and then figure out that they really don't want to take care of them. There is a guy from Vermillion on CL now that is giving his flock away because his wife doesn't want them anymore. 20 birds! Not sure I want to know what kind, how old, or anything else. I'm good with the ones I have.

lol I might have to try CL so I can make some room. I have no problems culling roosters ( not quite true) but hens I don’t know if I could unless it was the right thing to do because of illness or injury. Hope I never have to. I buy straight run chicks so that’s a lot of roosters. I have at least 6 I still need to cull. So far they don’t cause too many problems, but one of these days I am going to have to get it done 20 birds is a lot to get rid of. Hopefully they get a good home.

Hi! I'm in NE Nebraska with two Houdans in need of a home. I'm willing to drive to Yankton, SD and maybe Vermillion if needed. If you've got questions, let me know!
