I have a few new ones! Golden comet momma, chicks are comet/light Brahma mixes Bantam cuckoo cochin giving dust bathing lessons. Chicks are pure cochins, choc orp/cochin mixes, and one silkie/cochin mix. OEGBs! Chocolate orpington with OEGB baby, this was the first baby, but all 4 eggs hatched yesterday!

Hey WVduckchick, beautiful chickens Do you keep all the chicks you hatch?

Hey WVduckchick, beautiful chickens

Do you keep all the chicks you hatch?

Thanks! Depends on the breed and color. I will likely keep over half of these to add to my flock. Sell most of the males and the mixed chicks.

You're welcome. How do you stop your flock from getting too big? Is this more of a hobby for you, or do you have a business?

I just started a couple of years ago, and have over 80 birds right now. Between incubating what I want, and allowing my broodies to hatch this year (first for me!) my population exploded. But I'm watching for good ones to breed and selling the rest, and have a business plan in mind for very soon. Right now I have a "day job" but hope to do this full time eventually.
