Right now I just have 4 coops.. with plans for another 3. Gotta wait for more $$ before adding on. We spent ALL day yesterday working on cleaning out that closet/room.. boy do we have alot of "treasure" stuffed into a small space. We will be hauling out trash and vacuuming all morning I think but it will be so nice to finally have that big job done.
I did have someone come buy a rooster and he also wanted 5 of my new chicks.. was hard to part with them, but the $$ just means I can buy more. Selling the extra roosters are easier since it seems I always have an abundance and can't kill anything.. but the chicks that I hatch out are a bit harder. I steered him away from the two cochin babies..but he chose the dark little one I liked so much..
they are all mixed chicks from my laying flock.. so I know there will be more.. I keep telling myself that.. lol. I have eggs coming from Deb.. plus a few empty spots here and there.. so let me see how many eggs I can fit where..
I have someone coming for two white leghorn laying hens this morning.. those buggers will NOT stay in the fence and I refuse to clip their wings.. I want them to be able to fly away from a predator... so I can't have it both ways. Plus someone wants to come Friday for some.. she called LATE last night as I was getting ready for bed so not sure which ones she wanted.. first come with the $$ first served..
My experiment with guinea hens is a bust.. I can not stand their racket.
Listed them this morning on Craigslist..if they are still here on the 7th..they will go back to the auction with me. Lesson learned.. but if we had not tried them.. we would have always wondered..
Well the sun is rising..so that means I have to do something.. I hear either an alarm call or an egg song.. not sure which.. now where are my shoes??
