Thank you! The sign describes us to a tee lol... when we first got the 6 chickens i said "I want to just start with these at first and learn more before we add to them"... 4 months later here we are with 32 of them 🤣

The same thing happened to us. Several years ago, before we even had a coop, I started looking for silkies, and someone gave us three. Last I counted today, I believe we have 49. About a dozen are sold just waiting for folks. Our coop holds about 24, so, we've got another coop being built. :wee

It hasnt been that bad all in all, all of them are still with me (thankfully) so I dont think Im doing too bad considering my lack of experience and having to search what could be wrong with them online as we dont have a vet here that deals with avians. Good for my chickens that Im an aries through and through... stubborn and I dont give up on any animal as long as its still breathing. My hen with the "broken neck" can vouch for that. She couldnt move anything, would just lay on her side. We made a makeshift neck brace for her with a toilet tissue roll and I fed and watered her every 2 hours for 2 weeks with a syringe until she could hold her head up enough (with help) to eat and drink somewhat on her own. Did muscle exercises with her legs every feeding. Today she is in the run and coop with my 12 grow outs running around ruling the roost (except for when it comes to the I guess "head roo") lol
