Something must be wrong with me. I finally took the time to count how many chickens we have- drum roll please---- 42!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is way too many. Told the boys we are going to have to downsize soon. I can't get rid of the laying hens cause they are the only ones that even remotely pay their own way. And of course we have the 4-H birds and our favorite birds. So we have decided to get rid of our Aracauna/BB Red hen, a phoenix pair, and two roos. It's a start. Now the problem is actually getting rid of them without giving them away. A friend told me about an auction that happens every third Saturday with the Amish. I may decide to go there and see if I can get anything for them. I have tried to sell them on Craig's list but no luck. I hate the idea of killing them but I have to downsize. They are eating way too much. And come winter, that's too many in one pen. Right now we have them in 3 but only one has electricity. OMG, what to do.......
Is there a cure for this??????????????????????
