A.T. Hagan :
Just at the moment my brooder is...
...EMPTY!
But that's because I just took out fifty eight ISA Browns to put into their grow-out pen.
But wait! There's more!
Before those I had fifty four White Leghorns in that brooder. They're in their own grow out pen now.
So now the brooder sits empty. Waiting. Lonely.
But only until the end of the month when the White Midget turkeys and the Cuckoo Maran chickens hatch out. Should be about twenty or so.
And behind them at about two weeks later the eggs I don't take to the county fair incubation display will hatch about two weeks later (should be about fifteen to twenty) then a few days after those will come the next lot of White Midget turkeys. Hopefully about 20-22 of those.
That's all I have scheduled. So far.
So, you see, you're all behind the program here. Get with it!
I have an excuse, my grow out pens are still full of snow and ice! We are expecting more tomorrow!
Oh, and the latest development....2-3 inches of water in the basement from the thawing and rainstorms. Now, my poor chickies are floating! Actually, I have them up off the floor now. Nothing like this happened last year! I can't put them out in the garage yet, they will freeze! This sucks.
