My husband told me tonight I need to make a decision. The horses or the chickens. It is really not fair or easy for me to decide. My chickens are not producing yet, but they are eating, a lot. My horses are not doing anything either, but they are my loves.
I guess I could cut back seriously and only have the good egg layers. I am getting some Marans eggs to hatch and want to keep them for sure. I guess I could give up my Brabanters, some of my bantams and the leghorns. If they were already a few years old it would not be so hard. But they are just 5 months old.
I think I will try my best to limp them along till spring and see what happens. I can always take them to the auction if I have to.
(Sorry. this is the rambling section isn't it?)
