Caught Chickenitous!

[Witchgrass]

No, my chickens aren't sick, I think I've got it. It started last week when a friend offered to give me two roosters that he needed to get rid of. I cleaned out the old chicken house and three days later found four hens on Craigslist. Well yesterday, I found a local fee store that has a large selection on birds. I had planned on only getting 3-4 more, but after seeing what they had, I came
Home with 8 more hens.
Here's what I now have.
2 Barnvelder
Gold Sebright
silver sebright
Black sex link
2 Buff Orpington
Game
Plymouth Rock
Rhode Island Red
Ameracauna
Saggitas ? (production Red)
I think i better seek help. If these all start laying, I'll have eggs coming out of my ears!

Hi and

Glad you joined us! Yes, most of us have caught Chickenitous, Chicken fever, Chicken addict, etc.

Its not very hard to catch it! I went to a feed store last spring and bought 8 chicks, I saw some Leghorn pullets at another feed store and ended up getting 6 more, and then this August I went to our towns annual 4-h chicken sale and bought 3 more pullets! I've got chicken fever!!

If you ever have any questions don't hesitate to ask or just hop right over to the Learning Center:

Hello there, and my warmest welcomes to Backyard Chickens! Haha, do you notice my title ''Chicken Fever''? That one is there for a reason! I started out with three in march......fast forward to October, I have 35.... Yes, I am addicted. Enjoy those peeps! I hope you enjoy BYC as much as I have!

Welcome aboard! Yes, you're definitely in the company of fellow addicts here. I started out with a flock of 25 last January and now I have 93 (counting 37 Cornish Cross meat birds) and I'm just finishing a multi-pen breeding coop and starting a breeding program. So yeah you're definitely in the right place. You might want to start planning your next coop now before you have chicks on the way like I always seem to do. Look forward to hearing from you going forward, and good luck with your flock.
