Blooie's Blankie Fort

Rumors of Blooie purchasing chicks or hatching eggs are greatly exaggerated! I may have LOOKED.....um, I may even have a tentative shopping list.....oh, okay, I have them in my shopping cart, okay?? But that's as far as it goes.......so far.

Y'all crack me up

I should be, and usually am, planning my hatching schemes about now......
....but...I kept too many birds over the winter and space is tight.
It always catches up to ya. SMH. Not sure what I will do.

We are having the same problem with toooooo many birds.
Last weekend 11 birds had sudden breathing problems and ended up in the freezer.
Next weekend just about that many will make the same trip.
In about 4 weekends we will be about where we need to be.
There is some good eating walking around in the pens ya-know.

Not sure what I will do.

Check out the coops thread for some ideas for the new housing.....

Quote: New/more housing is out of the question.
Chicken soup will be on the menu, I was going to slaughter last fall but decided to put it off until spring to test my coop capacity.
Now I know it's better to cull in fall.

I have EMPTY coops (2 in fact) and am holding off on putting anything in them so I can hatch again in Spring. I have a nice mix of birds from different genetic pools and since I made the decision to not try and breed purebreds it's made chicken keeping life a lot simpler.
My poor Buff Brahma rooster has given himself a sore leg running all over 11 acres trying to cover 40+ hens though. He takes his duties very seriously!
