Hi! New to BYC hangin in MN.

I have 7 new chicks and have been lurking a bit trying to get my feet wet. Excited for new things to come! Married w/ teenagers, dogs cats fish and now birds! (Reptiles lasted 10 yrs). So excited for new beginnings

My hubby said I need at least 5 more. I can't argue right?

No don't argue, great that hubby is on board. Maybe you could 'reluctantly' let him get more chicks. Because you are such a good sport, he should get you an incubator and you can hatch your own.
