Craigslist is so funny. I have an alert for hatching eggs and faraday's chicks are in most alerts they send

@SnootyHen
Interesting read for you. (It took me a while to find the article again) I often put my chicks into the run (inside a rabbit cage or walled off corner + a mama heating pad - or actual broody hen) when they are 1-2 weeks old.

If I am not keeping the chicks, I raise them in the garage until sold. This is for biosecurity so I do not have visitors walking around the chicken area.

Thanks! I have a dog crate in there for them. So far the big girls just cluck at them and the little girls don't want anything to do with the big ones and 1 of my dogs loses her mind. So I call it a success! LOL!!!

Yep. That's me. If you want to hatch, I have plenty of little "useless chicken" eggs (aka seramas) for you.

Happy / Sad Day! I sold my 2 extra turkeys.

Orig, I was planning to bring all 3 to our big family Thanksgiving celebration, but with Covid, we're just staying home. We'll still eat "Thanksgiving', but "Christmas" and "Giblets" will live nearby at their new home. They grew up with chickens, so I think they'll feel right at home in their new place. I also made sure the wings were still trimmed.

Shame 2020 issues made it so couldn't have the big Thanksgiving.
I dressed out 2 jakes to trade for feed. 12 and 13 lbs at almost 7 months.
Glad you could sell the extras, get some of the feed cost back. I have a bunch of jennies I should sell. But with 2020 I don't really want to deal with people lol.

Although I am supposed to look at a dog Saturday. Friend of a friend's bil died and family can't take the dog. Burmese about 8 yrs, so a senior citizen like me.

My hubby (typical computer guy) plays video games, is into e-sports, and watches Twitch. One of the stations on Twitch that he recently found is based on chickens. (He always says the chickens are "my thing" but since he never complains about chicken math, it works for us.)

Anyway, I heard chicken noises coming from his office this morning. In the background, he literally had a Twitch channel on of chickens walking around. Apparently it was feeding time and the live stream showed a cute silkie getting some treats. He really liked how the streamer automated the whole chicken set up. There are several motion activated cameras around the run and feeding stations. When you subscribe or pay money, you can feed them a little treat, which you can watch on your computer.

Great for the brilliant person who found a way to feed his/her flock for free or maybe even make a profit using poultry. Of course I told DH that he could simply look out the back window if he wanted to see chickens walking around, scratching and being fed. LOL

That would be great for when I get to go to a nursing home, I could still get my chicken fix
By then it would be a hologram

That sounds VERY INTERESTING. If there is a way to channel the funds to my account,,,,,,, I know how I can have chickens dance. Already have the method DOWN PACKED.
