Do you need an intervention?

Be honest, how many of you went to the Ideal website and are thinking about it now, too?

Don't you do it! You say you're going back to work in two weeks? How early will you have to get up to clean the brooder and refresh the feed and water every morning? Then after work when you're tired, you gotta come home and do it again. And clean pasty butts! And the dust, and the dander! Sure, they say they're pullets but there's bound to be a cockerel or two in the batch. Like you say, cold weather is coming. Wait till spring! Chicks are so much more fun in the Spring!

Yikes! How many chickens do you have? Or should I ask, how many HUNDREDS?

Every time I say I’m going to TSC, DH says, buy whatever but NO MORE CHICKS. I can’t do it to him! He’s been soooo good with everything. I don’t want it to become a stress, ESPECIALLY going back to work. I might be able to pull through this without any new ones...step 1. DELETE THE EMAIL (so it isn’t there staring at me every time I log in).

I think I must be the only one on this website who chicken math does not affect. I love chicks but hate waiting for the eggs. And the eggs is why I got chickens years ago. I only have three girls now and have room for many more, I just don't want them Guess I'm strange like that. My TSC had pullets for 99¢, I walked out with just my dog food and chicken food
