So 2 weeks ago I pickup 10 chicks at the feedstore. Supposedly(from a girl who showed chickens in 4H) 9 pullets and 1 rooster.... Well now I have 4 pullets and 6 roos.....

So then I thought maybe I should get more pullets... that, and some talking about yummy Broilers... led me to order some meat birds and get more pullets.

So... Today I just picked up 5 Auracana's...and of course there was 1 RIR pullet in with a bunch of Barred Rocks, so I had to take her home as well....

Next week(already ordered) are 15 broilers and 3 ISA-Browns....

I started with 10 and will end up with 34...... Of course 20 or so of those will be dinner fare...... 2 are gifts to another person.

I have found myself building a juvenile pen(should finish tonight), preparing brooders about every night.... I haven't even gotten the Adult coop built yet....

It is everyone who posts on here fault(can't take responsibility for my own actions...) that I have so many chickens.....

As of today I have:

3 barred Rocks(1 pullet)
1 Australorp
5 RIR(4 pullets)
2 White Leghorns(don't ask..will be gone)
5 Auracanas (Pullets)

Way to go, Chicken Enablers!! We've trapped another one!

Boilerjoe,

You've just got started. Next year, you'll have another pen built. You will find another couple of breeds that you want.

Don't be shocked when the feeling hits you. There should be comfort in knowing that the rest of us are doing exactly the same thing! Enjoy your birds!
