Those chicks look awesome Morrigan!! I so miss them.
Thank you for the vote of confidence from you both. I need it! It may seem like what I do is awesome and it really is, but raising this number of chickens humanely, smartly and basically correct is a challenge. Selling the eggs isn't. I have that down pat but any little ooopsie can reduce egg production. While you try to do everything right, the wind can blow in the wrong direction and the girls won't want to lay. It is a bigger challenge than you would think.
Now on to ducks as well. They arrive in November. All I can say is that it will be really interesting and hopefully alot of fun!
