I am just limiting myself because the more birds i get the less attention each one gets because i can only spread my time so thin.I also never get rid of pets once i have them they are a lifetime commitment.I can hatch as many as I want, as long as I get rid of some of my other birds to make room for them. I gave 13 hens away to some friends of ours that needed some extra layers. They're going to a good home, but I still miss them.Maybe it's ''poultry withdraw'?
