Thanks! My husband is a cool guy. He is in scrubs because he is a CNA. He pretends not to be that into chicks but he spends more time at the incubator than I do.
I just might have 90 chickens & ducks before this summer is up. Everytime I buy poultry though, he knows that means I need a new coop or fence or something. And do you know what that means to him? - he "needs" more tools.
I like this arrangement. What do you do with the extra chicks? So far, we have just been replacing predator losses.
Yes, more tools! I'll have to use that one, it just might work; he does like his toys.
I hatch & raise the xtra chicks for selling & do well with craigslist.org for ads. This helps pay for the feed costs. Good luck at stopping your predator problem. I've got my chickens locked in at night, feed locked in at night, the coop inside of the chicken yard, the yard enclosed in chain link & topped with 1" chicken wire, wire going in a foot on the perimiter, the chicken yard enclosed on 3 sides with the front & back yard & the far end of the house, etc. No problems here with the numerous predators being neighbor dogs, fox, coyotes, bear, cogar, eagles, hawks, paraguin falcons, etc. etc.; I cross my fingers as I type this. Maybe see you on the next months hatch-a-long.
