So thus far the chicken expansion project I have now amuses my entire family.
I ordered 25 chicks, 5 each of Black Cochin, Light Brahma, Dominique, Barred Rock, and SLW. Which were originally going to hatch on the 8th. Then I was told that they would have the 13th.
Imagine my surprise when I got a post office call on the 11th saying I had chicks.
Imagine further surprise when the very nice fellow at the hatchery called Monday the 13 to say they were putting my chicks on a truck. At which time I advised them that I had them already.
They said they pulled the extra order..
So imagine my greater surprise when the phone rang this morning and it was the post office...
The hatchery was very nice again when I called today.
So some chickens for eating and some for laying has combined with my already here chickens to give me a total of 87... of which 13 are retiring layers and/or meaties..
Apparently, I am a cosmic chicken joke as I was going to get 3 orders. My family may even stop laughing when they see me sometime soon.
But as I live on a farm and have the space.. I'm going with the more the merrier instead of driving to return this set.
All are health and eating the FF so that's a good start..
