Hello there! I used to live in Mid bucks county, now I am in the northern part.

What kind of chickens do you have, and what are you looking for?

Ugh! My broody only had 7 chicks today when I came home, yesterday she had 8. I thought the first one had died of natural causes, but now I’m not sure.

I did find the little body in the coop, and the broody mom had been outside today, so I think one of the other girls must have grabbed it. I suspect one of the other chickens or turkeys killed it. I started off with 11. Last night I put her in the official broody coop. I started the run today, and I will finish it tomorrow, so that she can raise them in peace. I feel terrible, but now she will have total protection.

I just added my my "best guess" as to numbers, and I have 237 chicks + 3 ducklings in my basement, and another 95 chicks in the garage.
Plus, today is hatch day and I will have another 100+ tomorrow.

Wow! Don’t worry, I’m sure you can talk my friend into a couple dozen extra.

Random question: where the heck can a girl recycle a ton of pellet bags?? They're labeled #4 LDPE. Our township only accepts #1-7 food/beverage plastics (which makes me wonder what's happening to all our non food plastics...). I took them to Lowe's after finding on earth911.com that they accepted them, only to be told the opposite by customer service (they only accept grocery store type bags).

So now they are taking up space in our garage until I figure out where to take them. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Or if anyone would like them for other uses, let me know and I can send them your way!

PS: I am heading to TSC right now, for meal worms and Boss ONLY! No chicks!
