How many birds are in your current flock?

3 years ago I started with 12....
Now I have over 60, but now I’m downsizing the flock again...

How many are you downsizing to again?

Are you going to sell yours or?

I have somewhere close to 45 birds right now, including quail and ducks. I started with 50-ish, maybe more, maybe less. I didn't count them.

Most of them, but the majority will go to my uncle for free. (Well he’s buying me about 200 pounds of chicken feed...)

I was just reading up on it. And I didn't like the idea of sending them away to the butcher either. Id be willing to learn for myself but you should have seen me break down when we had to cull one of our chicks omg. Was it hard the first time?

Oh yes it was hard. The first time we culled a hen (she was a bully and an egg eater) I didn't eat meat for 3 months after and I was so sure I would continue life as a vegetarian. Then reality kicked in that I actually need meat to feel healthy.

Nice! Do you have your favorites?

I originally wanted 2.

Then 2 became 4 and then 8. At 8 I was over capacity so I had to build on. With the new addition I added 2 more.

Right now I have 10 silkies.
