So last week my hubby and I picked up our order of 6 Orlopp Bronze day-old poults. They are all doing well and have managed to locate their feed and water dispensers. I'm giving them apple cider vinegar in their water and all seems well.
What I would seriously like to know is this:
How did we go from having four hens and a rooster and "maybe a few turkeys" to our current situation?
5 chicks (mixed, Speckled Sussex, and EE)
9 Narragansett turkey eggs in the bator
16 Ringneck pheasant eggs in the bator
16 chicken eggs in the bator (RIRx, Australorp, and Gold Laced Wyandottes)
12 chicks on order (Barred Rock, Silver Laced Wyandottes, and EEs)
24 chicken hatching eggs on order (EEs and Welsummers)
12 more turkey eggs on order (Beltsville Small White this time)
and we're picking up about 6 Speckled Sussex chicks on Sunday.
You know, that means I'm going to have potentially 111 birds by June.
