I had a nightmare a little while ago that a jaguar got in my coop!!!
That woul be a nightmare!
They are going into lockdown tonight !
Hoping for a lot of pullets to hatch
Fingers crossed!
It always helps to be able to point to people more crazy than you are (actually that is useful in many facets of life). There have been customers driving 1 - 2 hours each way to buy a few chicks, and last evening someone braved the ice storm to come buy 6 chicks from me. My wife knows I'd never do anything that insane, makes housing 16 half-grown chickens in the basement for another week seem sort of ok.
I made an expanded brooder in the garage for some of the chicks (better to still call them that, even though they are 8 weeks old now), but I don't want to take them out there until after the next snowstorm and subsequent super cold nights.
I have so much invested in them so far, risks are not gonna be taken at this point.
Haha! I am one of those customers driving an hour to pick up chicks. Then I'm driving another 4 hours to deliver them to Bradford County! Crazy and proud of it!
