I'm tired
When we got home we ate dinner, then had to unload 20 bags of corn and take care of them.
I did really well, I brought home Kronk and his girls, but I sold everything else except 2 light brahma chicks. So, I covered the cost of the corn, plus extra money.
Since last friday I've done really well, I've sold about 55 chickens, 4 quail and a few dozen eggs (and two donkeys). I wish every week was this profitable
I put an ad up for Kronk and the girls on craigslist, maybe I'll have them sold this next week.
I'm down to 25 chickens in the "for sale" coop - but I have a few extras down in Mr. Speckles coop I could part with if I needed to. He has about 22 hens right now
so I could, I suppose, cut him back to a manageable number. (not that he minds having that many girls at all
)
In reality, the 12 younger ones are his for when they get old enough to lay, I could cut that back a bit, and the older ones that are laying are just for eggs - but once I get his girls laying the older ladies can go to Sano. I am trying to get the pure breds set-up and they don't match up to anyone, really (and the one they do match up to is too young for them still, but he has 6 girls on tap for breeding.)
My quail (the younger ones I bought) are laying, now, too. (did I mention that yet?) So I now have some A&M, Goldens and Tuxedos laying as well as the wild type.
So, I'm pleased with my trip to Sano this week.
