Congratulations!

I started in March 2010 with 7 pullets and now there seem to be 48 chickens and 2 geese out there!

Still not sure how that happened, oh yeah, I am addicted! I think I buy chickens in my sleep!

Woo-hoo! I hear the Seramas hatch fast! And a day early.

Good luck!

I wouldn't mind if mine hatched early! The sooner they get here the better, for me anyway!

I am SOOOO frustrated!!!! My Polish chicks keep dying! I lost one yesterday and one this evening!!!!

I have NEVER had good luck with polish chickens! These are a week and 2 days old and I have 5 out of the 7 left.

I got home tonight and noticed one was just lying there, so I picked it up and held it and it died in my hands about 5 minutes later.

I don't want to lose any more, I have 1 WCBP, 1 buff polish and 3 golden polish left.

I am down to 47 chickens.

The Ideal 236 production chick is the BIGGEST chick in the brooder! Obviously, a lot of money, research and engineering went into this chick!!!
