Since Kathy's not here to defend herself, I guess I'll have to do it for her..........

Okay, maybe you guys have me out-numbered and I'd better go wait for Kathy....

I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me all day to count them.

I can not believe how many chicks I have out there.

Thankfully, you can't count the eggs before they hatch, or I would have needed a calculator.
OMG, I need to unplug that bator.....

Oh shoot, that reminds me..... Gotta run. I have to move some eggs into the hatcher. Lockdown is today, and I am late!


Note ..... the 12 step program does not work. May as well forget that!

I started out counting, using my fingers ..... each finger = 10 chicks. When I ran out of fingers, I took off my boots and socks and used my toes. So, seeeeeee, I did not need a calculator. (And I didn't use every single toe either).

wow under 200, I'm so proud of you!

I'm much more under control than you..and I don't know why people keep comparing my hatching habit to yours

I ONLY have 58 on the ground, 37 in the brooder, 52 eggs in the bator with 36 eggs on the way...sounds perfectly controlled

Cheryl,
Hey, I downsized just before winter, to prepare for all these grow outs. I did good, too. 6 empty pens for them. However, I am now thinking I need a new plan. My strategy isn't working. Dear Daughter has decided she wants to pen some that I wasn't going to hatch from (they are just in the layers coop). She wants to hatch Coronation Sussex, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, and Jersey Giants. I really had not planned to do that. I dunnooooooo ....
