I'm so darn weak when it comes to chickens, Drumstick, and even PP. This is all her
fault. You should see the threatening PM she sent me.

I'm not much better. I've successfully snuck D'Uccle eggs into the bator which is full of eggs for my friend Cindy and eggs I traded for Avon face cream. Now I'm contemplating whether or not I can get showgirl eggs in there without getting TOTALLY busted....

This is after being told I needed to thin out the chickens we have in the backyard. <sigh> I'm really going to be in trouble sson.

I console myself with that the thought that it won't be 200 chicks worth of trouble

They aren't meat birds. They are sexed Comet cockerals who would have ended up
as reptile food or dead in a dumpster.

If you feed them a high protein feed and give them lots of love they will make
ok meat birds (I'm guessing 4 pounds) by week 16.

Let me rephrase... All the sexed roosters would be meat birds here. There'd be no other reason I would buy 200 birds. I did not mean cornish. I meant food.

I've heard what you do to chickens. Forget it.

Kind of like you with the sheep

I understand Sterling. I'm just trying to justify my stupidity to myself. That's all.

Roosters are meat birds to me too.

Here's the math:
$75 for 200 birds shipped =
Lots of feed (I don't wanna guess)
Lots of food
Lots of little beakers as we raise them with love

PC maybe it's a good idea for us to go in on that ton of feed.

Lots of tasty homegrown chicken

Priceless. LOL! I'm not saying you're stupid, definitely not...


But you are crazy

I can't even begin to imagine... I had 20 meaties this year. So times 10...

feed, water, shavings... times 10?

You are brave my friend.

Either that, or incredibly stupid.

Tell her Drum's laughing because he was watching the video of your waxing yesterday
