We'd be willing to raise them for a bit for you.  My wife absolutely loves chicks, so I'm sure she'd be ok with it!  Not that I need any more girls of our own.  We already have 8 hens/pullets and 3 roosters.  I'm actually just started building our second and larger coop today.  The 11 are definitely outgrowing the 3'x5' one that I initially had set up for the 4-6 hens that I had wanted.

I'll PM you with more of my information.

Hey, you know you will be able to use your smaller coop For your new batch..

What is so funny about this is: all of the OT are laughing at us.. They know how the chicken math works..
I kept on hearing about it.. I always thought I have just what we need.. Different breeds. Bantams, med large..
You know what I mean..
Yeah right

I was all set and happy with the four I wanted. I even knew I could get an extra two in there safely, since the plan was always free-ranging. I was not anticipating my wife being the purchaser of more chickens than me.

Once we have a broody, she'll go in the small coop with a half-dozen broilers to tend to. With eight hens, that should give us what, 48 broilers a year, assuming each goes broody once. Even if it's only half that, it's a whole chicken for dinner every two weeks.

Oh, and the broody will go in the small coop. Not the wife, just to clarify! Lmao!

Oh to be 115lbs again!!!! But I guess you did give me another good reason to be slightly chunky - I won't blow away!

We haven't got the moisture, yet... although earlier in the day, there were actually a few teeny, tiny snowflakes blowing in the wind. Then it just sprinkled long enough to make the dust stick to everything.
Chickens stayed out in it all day! It was cold, NO windblocks here at all - lost a portion of the tin off the roof off their coop.
Where are you at where it's thunderstorming?

I get some funny looks from people when I tell them I'm a mechanic and I work on a ranch. No one can understand how a tiny little girl has so much gusto! I always tell people who say that to me that its not fun being so thin. Everyone underestimates you and thinks you are not physically capable of moving anything heavier than a milk jug! And i get blown around in the wind.... As for the storm I'm out by Apache junction and its pouring!!! Thankfully it let up enough to feed the horses an clean the chicken water!

If your wife is like me she would probably rather live in the.chicken coop! Its outside and there's not much cleaning to do!!! Plus chickens make for wonderful company.
