Granny's gone and done it again

I sold my Tolbunt hens for $60 each, the rooster for $45. Got $40 for a dozen eggs. Sold my trio of Calico bantam cochins for $70. I saw some bloody droppings from some of the younger birds so I didn't sell any chicks in case they all got sick. Like I said, it was quite cold for them
 
Did you sell more then you came home with?
Yes, sold 2 more of my breeding stock of rabbits as well, plus a bunch of Light Brahma youngsters.
I bought one polish pullet, a splash about 4 months old. Happy to have company for the lonely hen in quarantine. No other live things. Did buy an old metal garbage can for feed.
 
I actually wanted Black Australorps but I only wanted 7 total. 6 pullets and 1 cockerel but all the hatcheries charge an extra fee for anything under 15 chicks so I found these JBG at my local feed store. I had to get straight run so I ended up getting 10 hoping for more pullets than cockerels.
I think we ordered 10 BA pullets and 6 BA cockerels, and guess what. We got exactly what we ordered, imagine that! I think they threw in 2 or 3 extra cockerels but they died the first week. We put the cockerels in the freezer, they were a bit lean and the meat was kind of dark but they were quite good.
