Oh that bounty from the sky

[bundick]

At the local Gas station, having coffee, I asked about raising chicks in this hot weather. I told them about ordering them.
We have the largest Chicken Farming population of any state or county right here in Cullman.

One of the guys offerd this:

"I just got in 44,000 Chicks. I'm not through Culling them for weak, dead, or too small yet, but I've thrown a Wheel barrow full to the Catfish already. I gotta Cull some more tomorrow and Monday. Your welcome to my culls"

Wow! Hotdiggitydoggies I'm thinking to myself.
"Yes sir, I want those Culls. I'll be over to your place to help you cull both Tomorrow and Monday!"
He said I didn't have to but I'm gonna do it anyway. I wont pass up any learning experience at my young age.

I don't know what I'm gonna feed em' though as I didn't get to the feed store in time. Maybe they'll last a day without food or I'll crush up some of the adult chicken pellets for them.

I sure hope this turns out good.

What breed?

Most everything we get around here look like White Leghorns to me.
I got some of the ones the "Chicken Pickers" left one time, they did not lay, and were tough as Sage brush to eat.

We'll try Chicks this time. If I get enough that survive, I may keep them till they lay to see what's what with them.
I'll have photo's tomorrow and by that time I should know the breed.
