I have been running around like crazy the past few days trying to make sure I have everything ready for my chicks. On Thursday we are driving to Cackle to pick up 125. Yesterday I got the lights hung up and am still trying to figure out what I am going to use for bedding. The way I have been running around you would think that I was expecting a new baby! I am thinking about using the wood pellets for bedding and putting puppy pads on top for the first couple of weeks-Is that a good idea? or no? I need to figure out a way to keep the waterers level...maybe put down cheap cookie sheets for them to set on....(thinking outloud here)
Oh and did I mention I have 3 does due to kindle in 7 days...and we are getting a puppy on the way back from Cackle on Thursday? lol. And I have another doe due to kindle in 12 days? Crazy stuff around here.
AND last night DH was talking about trying to hatch out some of our eggs. A guy that he works with said that he has an incubator that he has only used once and we could have it if we wanted it!
Please tell me that I am not the only one that goes crazy-nutso waiting on chicks!?!?
If I had room I would get more! lol. It took all I had in me to not go to CHICK day on Saturday at C&C Farm and Home Supply. lol
