60.

Yes, I said 60.
I can do this. It's only 8-10 weeks. *takes a deep breath*
Funny to think that a little over a year ago I had never had a chicken of my own, let alone raised meaties and processed them myself... I went from having no poultry ever, to my highest being around 57 birds last year.
This year already I have 32 eggs in my bator, 2 ducklings in my brooder, 60 coming tomorrow, and another 20 chicks and 5 goslings coming at the end of this month.
Oh and I'm going tomorrow to pick up a trio of breeding Muscovy ducks
That's 119 birds this year if all of the eggs in my bator hatch and I don't hatch anymore (YEAH RIGHT LOL)
Sometimes when I think of it all like this, I get a tad overwhelmed....
Someone save me please.
