LAST COUNT 67

I JUST GOT OFF FONE FOUND TWO SHIPPING CRATES SO MORE COOPS

Hello chicken math! By my count you really have like 7.

I don't count anyone under 5-6 months. That helps enable my denial some... Lol

I would love to know............ So I don't feel like the only one that can sell 44 chickens and it doesn't make a dent in the population.

Holy schnikes BHep! 44 didn't make a dent?!? Your feed cost must be thru the roof!! Do tell, how many do you have? Inquiring minds have to know now!

Oh Beth, you know you're not alone!

I got phone calls to make today - found some crates and some other cages I can use for pretty darn cheap.

Thanks for the link Beth, but I think Abchicken beat me to it. LOL

Colie: I actually made a grow out pen for the americana's I bought after you left and was thinking that when the "grow out" I'll have the empty pen and maybe the black silkies will be laying by then.....ya never know!

What kind of crates are you looking for? I know where some corn/veggie crates are that I can probably snag for free

Luke - mainly looking for bigger plywood ones, but could use some smaller solid box type crates.

Went to the gentlemen's house that had chicks today, very sweet guy, seemed to know a lot about chickens, except how to keep their cages clean! there were obvious signs of scaley leg mites, and respiratory infections, and as much as I wanted to save those chicks I couldn't risk whatever there was spreading to my flock.
So I came home an ordered…
2 BO males
2 salmon faverolle pullets and 1 boy
2 EE pullets and 1 boy
And 3 black cochin frizzles st run
From ideal!
They will be shipped Feb. 8th I can't wait!

those shipping crates are so cool, got to find me some!
Beth- if I had the space I'd have 200+ chickens easily! I'd own a trio of every breed if I could!

Thanks for the advice about bators everyone, I'm defintely going with hova but I think I'm gonna wait a lil while and learn as much as I can about incubating first!
Hope everybody has a great day!

Snag them for me if Jessy doesn't want them! Snag them for you too now I think of it. Sounds like good idea to take birds to the auction or transport them. Also scrap wood to do whatever with.

the wood wouldn't be any good except to burn. But that's what I use to take my birds to the auction, and I'll run by there sometime this week and see if I can't get a couple for ya
