From egg to chick!

Pics
It's amazing how you go from wanting a few chickens for fresh eggs. And then this happens. It further proves my point that chickens are the best animal!
I keep seeing these reels on FB and tiktok. "We wanted a few chickens for eggs, so we have 30 chickens. The chickens needed friends, so now we have ducks...." etc

It is the truth. Bc I want ducks. Goats. Cows. I have fallen into the farm hole.
 
Sorry, I should have said a "seemingly cruel side to them." I'm not the best at wording things. This reminds me of how birds of prey are stereotyped to be cruel, but they should be well-respected because their hunting skills are very good.
They hunt better than me. Only thing I can hunt is a sale at walmart or the grocery store.
 
Exactly. Chicken math. Hubs said no more chickens though. Will have to just sneak in one at a time that are similar in colors. He doesn't do headcounts. So yup.
You at least need to add a few every other year to keep the egg numbers up. As the older ones slow down, you need younger ones getting started... if you accidently forget which year you are on and buy some every year, oops...

Truth! A few years ago I saw a meme that said chickens are the gateway animal to farming 🤣 I had rabbits as a little kid, then chickens, then horses, then cows, then goats. We just have the chickens and a broodmare now but it's like some ducks and Sebastopol geese 😃 hubby wants peafowl, a miniature donkey, pigs, goats... lol.

Cows are great, home raised beef is so much better than store-bought. It's hard not to turn them into pets though.
 
It's such a mystery isn't it? My 56 are heading to be over 100 by mid March... I have no clue how this happens :idunno
