Will try to do so this weekend....lots going on here! I've got a new broody and she will be raising my 20 laying chicks that will arrive June 7th. Had to get the broody pen ready for that...can't wait to see it all over again! This place will be covered in chickens before long!
I have 23 hens, one roo, 20 meat chicks and then will add 20 layer chicks......more than I've ever had before at one time in my adult life.
Of course, the meaties will be going to freezer/canning camp in June/July and some of the older laying hens will be joining them as early as two weeks from now. This will make room for my new chicks, I'm sure.
This fall, I plan to get more meaties!
They seem to thrive in cool weather and they will provide more warmth in the coop.
