I attend CA meetings. None of us can get past step one...Acknowleging we have a problem. But we do trade eggs so it has cut down a little on purchasing.

You want to know how I control the addiction??

I DON"T!!

I have two bators going at all times, chicks in the house, chicks in the garage, chicks in the barn..more coming in a few days from a lady friend.
I am totally overrun with Silkie chicks and Silkie eggs. A Cochin sitting on 21 more Silkie eggs..more going into a bator today.

I LOVE THEM ALL....guess I have issues.

You live with my fiance'. There's no chance of my addiction getting out of control.

I'd like to get into raising them so I'm sure you'll see some around...
