Hi my name is Deannie and I am Chickaholic. I started off simple with just the thought of wanting to get 3 chicks. The breeder I got them from told me she was going to give me 5 in case some of my bantams didn’t make it or in case I ended up with a couple Roos I would re-home elsewhere. Come the day I was to actually get them she ended up giving me 7 chicks (absolutely free, she is a coworker of my daughter). After having them a week we went to TSC to pick up more supplies and of course the have babies right next to the supplies, hubby says why don’t we get a couple more to make it an even 10, not knowing that they have a 4 chick minimum. We said ok we will take 4, so now we have 11. Another week goes by and same coworker says to my daughter does your mom want these fertilized eggs to try to hatch, a dozen, I said sure why not at this point, I means what’s 12 more at this point. So here I am, 11 live chicks five weeks in and 12 in the incubator… chicken math!
