I think that maybe I have too many chickens. I didn't think that was possible, but I'm kinda thinking I might have stepped over that line.
Coop #1 just has my 13 layers. They aren't too much of a problem, but if they don't stop picking each other they will soon be stew.
Coop #2 has 6 Soon to be laying hens and including maybe 1 black Orp Roo, masquerading as a hen
Coop #3 has 7 4 week olds 5 Marans (I think 3 are roos) and a black and blue orp. I think one is a roo.
Coop #4 30 10 week olds in way to small of a space. Red and black Sexlinks, Blue americans (not sure which ones) blue orps, again clueless as to who is who. Blue Jersey Giants (still clueless, but I think 2 might be roos) EEer Roo, and BR roo and 2 speckled sussex's
Brooder #1 50 meat birds.
Brooder #2 5 birds I'm brooding for a customer.
I think I'm doing really well, until I get to coop #4 and I can't tell one chicken from the other. I've got to get the marans out of the Jersey Giant's coop, the 6 from coop 2 into coop #1 several from coop #4 into coops #1-3
I think coop #4 is what's putting me over the edge. All this moving is time sinsitive and those little boogers are growing faster than the time needed to get them ready for their big moves. I think I need more coops.....
