This spring DH and I decided 20-25 chicks was our limit. No problem, no additional coop needed, no additional run necessary. 25 chicks tops....
I now have 71 chickens, a brand new coop, and I'll be starting on the run next week....
Chicken math :D

Well, when I came to the farm and took over the chicken business from my father. The farm already had around 200 chickens of 25 different breeds kept in breeding pens. I built a large chicken house with 1000 bird capacity, added other poultry species like ducks, guineas, geese and turkey. In 9 years the population did grew but I don't think it's too explosive.
This is my passion, I am doing what I can do. I am happy that I can realise my dream.

That is so awesome!!! :woot
 
My big girls are all nice and silent and sleeping like good little chickies while my little girls (3 days-1 1/2 weeks old) are up scratching and running around being little crazy fuzzballs. Yay for the brooder being in the living room! Maybe they don't like Friends? I mean, there's a duck AND a chicken! ...in some episodes...

Yes! That's what I was looking at too; their location. We're down by Memphis but it's about a 5 hour drive from here to Branson, MO so it isn't terribly far. I was also trying to think about the type of climate their parents are raised in and whether or not it was similar enough to our's. All that fun stuff. So sad about the ones that didn't make it. I'm so sorry.

Cackle is in Lebanon, MO. For us it is about a 3 hour drive, I think. Although it is two days before we can pick up at our local post office, I think their journey is shorter than if i order from elsewhere and hopefully less stressful.

Thank you. It is sad they didn't make it. Many of the breeds I ordered are "out of stock" on their site now, so I am thinking I got the last of them. I didn't notify the hatchery as The first shipment when perfectly and sometimes these things happen. It isn't like they arrived dead.
