help for chicken addicts

[Spires6]

O.K. everyone else seems to know exactly how many chickens they have so I did a beak count and it seems I have 51 chickens. I had 13 in the spring when I joined this site. I also now have 8 turkeys and 22 ducks. I think this site is evil.

Count me in too! I stopped at my favorite feed store for supplies and the owner offered me two free Blue Wyandotte pullets. How could I say no? I already have nine babies (3 EE, 2BR, 1 Black Cochin, 1 Welsummer, 2 BO) and 5 adults (2 EE, 4 Leghorns, 1 Silkie Bantam Roo). Hoping hubby doesn't notice them when he comes home from his trip next week. lol

Yes, I think it is all an evil plot by the BYC staff. They give you your first taste for free - you can be a guest.
Then they get you hooked.
Not sure yet how they make money off of our addiction, but perhaps they are actually aliens that derive some psychic benefit from us obsessing over chickens. (think Hulu commercials)

I'm a full blown addict and I've only been fowl-blessed for 6 weeks.

So, do we identify each other by asking if we are a friend of 'Clucky' instead of Bill?

Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over Chickens - that our lives had become unmanageable.

Bauck!

The only help available is your local hatchery! LOL the cure is to GET MORE CHICKS

. I just recently sold a bunch or i'd have well over 50 right now. 9 babies still growing in the house, 9 more babies in the bator, I'll be back up to well over 50 again in no time!

. My hubby is the one who started this thing 4 years ago, boy is he sorry now. I will say I have become Quite the builder since this started. He now has to lock up his wood pile so i don't turn it all into one huge chicken community. Now to scout out Craigslist for free building materials

Thankfully I'm not allowed a rooster. However, I've only got 7 chicks right now, and my total chicken population allowed in city limits here is 12. That's 5 chicks for next year, right???

 

[RAWR]

ya, thats 5 for next year :]

I think we have lives, chickens just make it more fun.

My dh complains about the chicks at times, he enables me. He just called me a little bit ago he just bought 12 barred rock pullets at the feedstore. I have now 67 chicks. This does not count the 11 turkeys, 10 ducks either. Keep in mind there are 17 black copper maran eggs in the incubator with another dozen ameracaunas on the way.
