I just realized a strange thing! I have the following ...
coop 1, 8 LF hens=8 chickens, obviously
coop 2, 7 Seramas and the LF broody that hatched them= 8 chickens
coop 3, 3 Seramas and 5 chicks, there were 6 but one died = 8 chickens
Last batch of Seramas, hatched 9, my son stepped on one and it died = 8 chickens
Eggs due to hatch this week... 5 Seramas and 3 Silkies= 8 hopeful chickens
Eggs due to hatch in the next two weeks... 8 Serama eggs= another 8 hopeful chickens
I had 6 Ancona ducks and my broody just hatched 2 more= 8 Ancona ducks
Are you sensing a pattern here?
That is seven sets of eight! I clearly need one more set of eight... maybe silkies!!
Just to be fair I do also have one set of 5 Seramas, 4 peafowl and 1 Muscovy duck
S**t, I just realized I have a lot of birds!
