i have never ordered chicks. one day when i dont have a hundred of them i will. lol i think 25 is a nice round #. but how do i brake to the others that they have to pack their bags?? and if i get my #s down i will take a look and say,(to myself) i always talk to myself, i havent hatched any babies in a while.. hmmm... i have the room. by the way, i still have 26 babies in my living room and i have to clean 3 brooders out every day and the fuzz is still flying. im sure i am the only one in the house with sinus atrophy . hahahah i did get the bigger brooders cleaned and disinfected but thats about as far as i got. i would rather sit here and talk about it. where do you find your motivation when it starts hiding from you? i looked under the bed, its not there.not in the closet, kitchen. its hiding good. have any of you seen it? i would appreciate it if you would tell it to come home. i am offering a reward of 2 chickens_ shipping and handling charges are not included. buy the way, my sanity went with my motivation they are together.
