[DwayneNLiz]

i think so too

I just checked my brooder, and realized I had a silkie chick hatch............................... LOL let's hope it's a pullet?

i hope so!

yes although I dont see the fun anymore, and not sure why I do this lmao. I think its just a habit at this point. Nothing better to do I guess.

[@=/u/72519/ChickenCanoe]@ChickenCanoe[/@] what types of supplements should I look for to give breed stock? I tried to look it up, but couldn't find any solid info. Is there a particular vitamin or combo? I'm currently feeding them feather fixer, but I could switch feed.

 

 
after who knows how many hatches in the original green coolerbator the fan is finally taking a crap.  sounds rough but I used my backups in the cooler made for sara and my new one.  ordered more fans yesterday hope this keeps spinning until they arrive. 

oh I forgot to take pics of the new bator, all trays filled but one.  brb

"I'm cutting way back on my birds; time to make a new 'bator to add to the stack of empties I already have" 

Teasing you; I know you sell most of them as day olds.

lol twenty chicks just left at 715 am this morning.  even if I get 2 a chick I am making money for feed and stuff. 

You sayin something to me?
