[shay20]

Starting to look like my house,

At one point i had about 150 chicks in my office room, now i have 4 brooders going in my office, oh wait 5 one is quails. LOL

I just have 2 ducks and 4 chicks in my bathroom. They're supposed to be in their separate brooders, but this morning both ducks (I can't hardly call them ducklings any more at nearly six weeks) and two of the chicks were out of their brooders investigating the rest of the bathroom.

The ducks looked at me as if to say, "What?" this morning. The BR and RIR chicks were perched on the bag o' pine shavings as if they thought that was just a grand huge nest.

I must be crazy, because I just thought it was so cute. Sure, I have some clean-up to do a few times a day...... but they're safe in there and it's the bathroom, fer goodness' sake. Not the kitchen or a bedroom or the living room.

Thats alot! I have 2 layers right now, and just got 6 chicks last week, I thought that was alot! Still dont know what im gonna do with the eggs when the 6 start laying but I just had to have baby chicks, yup wish I never found this website LOL. So anyway what are you going to do with 92 chicks, plus im assuming you have more adults. Are they all for you, do you sell eggs, are they being raised to eat? Just curious

the 54 cornish cross are for the freezer in about 8 weeks or so... the others are for us, to replace and add to our current flock. we decided that we wanted some RIR, so what the heck we figured we would go all the way! haha! we also have egg orders coming out our rears, hard for 18 sexlink hens to lay 3-4 dozen a day lol we are tryin hard to fill egg orders! we are also planning on raising SQ RIR too
