Chicken (Poultry) Addiction Anonymous *Chat Thread*

I am completely addicted to opening "cheeping boxes of happiness"!

It's like a drug!

I greatly admire the beautiful birds from selective breeders, but I am satisfied with my hatchery birds (and some culls from Daisychicks non-hatchery breeder birds)!

Hatchery birds fit my budget and I really am in this mostly for entertainment and distraction.

I think if I had to start over, I would just have a colorful mixed flock for layers. (I'm too emotionally and financially vested in my breeds to turn back now.

)The last hatchery orders I had were for ducks...one from Holderreads and one from McMurray. It is instant "Christmas feeling" when you open that box up! I think that is what most shopaholics experience...and can see how easily an addiction can form from that.

Oh, and Allen...good to see ya!

And tell Chandra I say hi the next time you see her!

Three baby Japanese Bantam babies hatched successfully today a day earlier than expected! Including one of the eggs from the refrigerator! Yay!

So far she is hunkered down over both them and the shells. I pulled out the ones that were easiest to get to without disturbing her too much. I have tomorrow off so I can return trip to drs. And take the boys to the pumpkin patch with their preschool group. Should have plenty of time in the afternoon for pic taking!! I did get to see one peeking out from under her wing. Soooooo cute.

Looking forward to seeing them, hope you have girls

ML: Actually, I promised DH I'd rehome them ASAP! But, you are right. If they are girls that would be a thousand times easier!

Are you related to Daisy?

Nope, not related. We live in the same town and we both have chickens.

I bought one of her incubators from her last year, and I buy her used chickens!
