I have 11 Red Stars (just laying eggs for us)
I have 2 Silkie Hens and a Silkie Roo (because I like them...the roo was a surprise)
Now my kids want chicks...I have made a homemade bator, and monitoring the heat and humidity today and will probably put the silkie eggs in tomorrow (6 of them)
My question is this...
I have the room for a few more silkies, but I am having that feeling that I am going to truly enjoy hatching (plus I am letting the hen sit on a few eggs)
Then what?
I am not sure I want more than one Rooster
I can take on a few more hens...but what are the options with the rest? What do people do with their chicks? Sell them, if so where?
