Funny you should ask, I have a MSW and used to work in home health. Update to my chicken math, a 6 foot chicken snake got one of my Houdans, so we are down to 29, but added 7 quail who will be released soon.,I am a social worker/bereavement counselor for a hospice. We see the phrase "failure to thrive" as a diagnosis for some of our clients. Are you in the health field since you used that phrase?
I started out with 2-6 month old chickens, Red the Rooster (RIR) and Goldie (Brown Leghorn). Bought 15 from a hatchery (kept 6 and gave away the rest). Then 16 the next year and put them in a different area/yard. Now have another batch of 22 4-week old chicks. Plus, I decided to let my buff go broody and Wed. she hatched out 2 (out of 6 eggs). First time letting a hen hatch eggs. Needless to say, they are precious! Watching them interact with mama is priceless! Now a friend has week old Easter Eggers she is going to give me. So I hope THAT's IT for a while!I think that makes 46.
Ohh my God. I'm waiting for 42+ hatching eggs to arrive in the post office. This time I over did it. My bator only has space for 18 tops. I'll have to make a bigger one tomorrow. In my coop I don';t have space for half of those...o well. I'll make one bigger. Now the problem is how to tell my dad I am hatching more. He will tell my I have a problem and maybe he is right. I just want a good breeding stock. This will be the last. (hope so). I don't know if I should be happy or scared....lol
