This is why we get along so well, lol

Yes! Lol. I'm watching my chicks outside right now and weighing the pros and cons of hatching eggs, buying chicks from this lady who will soon have them, or holding off and watching bins at RK every weekend...

Almost enough to cover the feed and treat bill.

Almost enough to cover the cost to order new chicks

I just put out feed and water and the older chickens still choose to dig around in the dirt and drink from puddles. They practically feed themselves.

After Sherry, I'll probably not get another sex linked. She started laying at 5 or 6 months and laid through her first winter. Molted second winter and then this last summer has been in a semi-molt and egg decline since June. Will now lay just a couple of times per week and the shells are either very soft or non-existent. Which means we're changing the straw in the nest box every few days. Supplemental calcium and protein do not help her condition. If she weren't the happiest of the bunch to greet me and her antics didn't make my heart smile she'd've been dispatched already.

Hopefully breeders are working on longer healthier lifespan for sex link chickens.
