Illinois...

Hi, I thought I’d try my luck on this thread. I need a place to keep my chicks. I can provide everything: their coop, run, food, etc. I live in Rockford, IL. I prefer a place where it’s close enough that I can come see them everyday. I’d even pay a fee if necessary. Or if anyone knows of any resources I should know about, that too would be greatly appreciated.

Did you loose your ability/permission to keep them where you live???
Sorry I cant help you out. I'm 70 miles away.
WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,welcome to Illinois thread,,,,, and

I have a friend who has a full working dairy farm in the Wonder Lake area. She might be able to take on some more chicks. She has a few new mamas right now. Are you looking for just a temporary home or a permanent one?

It’s purely temporary. I just need a place to keep them until I can move out.

Ole fart must have gotten new batteries for his unit and does not know to adjust volume.

My hen went broody. I decided to let her hatch 4 and marked them because of course she would take every egg laid. Today I see this.....

Showed DW and ironically she saw this on FB as 1 year ago today.

Almost to the day!

This is cool. Connecting people who want to farm with people with land. 1 acre in oswego I could grow 200 CX+. Unfortunately fuel will be about $350 to travel back and forth every day for 10 weeks.

Very cool how your chicken likes to pick the same day to hatch. Mine are not as predictable. LOL

I just got my broody Spitz out of the coop this morning. Poof Poof is adopting our incubator chicks. She's a first time mama (I think about 4 years old & never even considered it before). So...... now our silkie, Xansie, has taken her place in the nest box. I'm getting tired of fighting broody hens, so we're letting her stay. Poof Poof did steal a couple eggs which I think started to develop. I'm expecting a lonely only from them, but I may just let the silkie have those.

I was planning to turn the incubator off and stop hatching for the year...... That's my story anyway.

You've still got 3 months before that inky will be off!

It's OK to have a broody or two. I currently have 6......
2 spitz
2 orps
1 ccl
1 silkie/serama

The ccl only got 1 baby. The other died after hatch. Not sure why. I don't know if it got crushed or hurt by another hen. It was a big blue baby.
