Hatch-a-Long Queen
I'd make them dinner for my family. I'm all about providing food, but I haven't done it yet. My chicks are the size of nuggets

I think it's hilarious when people eat chicken from the grocery store, but think it's cruel to raise your own... The chickens that you buy at the grocery stores are treated so poorly! I'm just glad that my chickens can spend 20 weeks very happy then be stuck in a meat farm stepping/sitting in poop obese and having a bad quality of life.Yeah, that’s a good idea and probably smarter than giving them to someone else after spending the time and money raising them but I’d just hate to off them all
Hopefully someone will want a flock rooster or two.
They’re all nice breeds so could be used for breeding maybe. I know they’re hatchery but all my hens/pullets from the same hatchery are beautiful.
If I can find anyone though, I’ll probably be forced to.
But my parents will likely be adamantly against that, they didn’t even wanna do meat chickens (I would like to eventually), and think it’s gross, cruel, whatever, so I may be forced to keep them until they all find homes.
Which is fine, just hopefully it doesn’t take too long.
And yeah, those probably wouldn’t make a very good meal
I don’t know if I can keep all mine till they’re a good eating size so hopefully they sell before then haha
Lavender Orpingtons are so beautiful. I had one. It was supposed to be a hen and turned out to be a cockerel named Larry. For being an Orp, he had quite the attitude and would come at me if I entered his pen. One day I picked him up by the heels to carry him around for a bit and adjust his attitude and one of his spurs snapped off. He had huge spurs but the sound of that spur snapping could be heard. Surprised, I put him down and he took off, never to bother me again.
I lost him about 6 months later to Mareks.

Here's Larry Bird the day I looked close at him and said HEY! You're a rooster! Darn it!
It was my hope to raise hard to find Orpington breeds and sell the chicks/birds. Then Marek's hit and I learned that Orpingtons are highly susceptible to it.
Kelsey, face it girl, you need your own place in the country!
KDog, how much longer on the hatch?
I'm moving mine outside I think soonMy babies are doing well, probably take some more pics this weekend. Had to move them to the bigger brooder through yesterday...
