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! :ya

Makes me want to break my "no waterfowl" pledge and get some Muscovies. Please show a pic after they have pooped all over the place and dumped their water 10 times to help me hold my resolve.

So cute!! Good luck with them...
 
FINALLY!!! I chickens and ducks are 2 years old...they NEVER lay in a nesting box. Well my "babies" that are inside laid in a carboard box. so i got the idea that maybe their nesting box I got from TSC isn't enough privacy since they seem to lay in the darkest corner. Well I got another box and put it in there and when i went in there this morning every egg that was laid was in the box! Except for 1. Which may be because the box was occupied. So I will be adding a second. Who would have though cardboard box?! Here is my inside hen who laid in the box. she is 20 weeks. Just happy that I dont have to deal with messy eggs now lol
