Same here!

I think I'm getting fairly close to 200 chickens, no including anything else. I have a few named, but I haven't named any in awhile.

Well, I have a "Mixed" flock of around 55-65 layers along with about 15 roosters. Then I have a quad of Seramas in their own little hutch. Then in the front yard I have my Coronation and Light Sussex. I've lost 7 Sussex so far to the heat so that is why they're up in the yard. They live in one side on the big hutch in the front yard and then on the other side I have 9 Black Australorp chicks, 3 Light Sussex chicks, 3 mixed chicks and 4 IB Peachicks. Then I have around 60 chicks loose in the yard, all are my future breeders. Although, I don't have too many left. After the heat and my dog gets through with them I won't have any!

I'm working on building a huge poultry "barn" for them, but until that is finished (which will be Winter, b/c it isn't started yet) they have to stay in the yard. Then lets see, I have 2 White peachicks in my "used-to-be" Quail House and that's about it.

I'm trying to hatch out some more Serama eggs and then I have some more Sussex eggs in the 'bator. I have at least two broodies all setting on eggs, as soon as they hatch I'll be selling the babies. Don't want anymore mutt chicks, I just got rid of 40.

Then this coming Friday (7/15) I'll be getting some more Sussex, and some Black and Buff Orps from Jody Hinkle lines. Anyways, just trying to keep them alive right now.

I can't believe I used to have around 12 chicks a "few" years ago and now...look at myself, a complete poultry freak!

Most of mine are dual purpose birds.. though I do have 23 bantams too.. we have them for eggs and making new baby chickens.. extra roos and older hens get sent to freezer camp.. extra bantam roos also go to freezer camp.. they may be small.but they are still yummy on the grill wrapped with bacon..
we are planning on getting between 25 and 50 freedom rangers in the spring for broilers.. I may hold back a few and see what happens when they are bred.. I know they are hybrids and won't breed true.. but could be fun to see what I end up with when I do some selective breeding for a sustainable meat bird
I have 15 turkeys on order from porter's.. three will go on to become future breeders (one tom and two hens).. the rest will go to freezer camp as turkey burger/sausage and roasters
I am also planning on raising quail eventually.. just want to get some eggs first and see how well they incubate for me

Are you sure you dont want anymore baby ducks now? I have some cuties that desperatly need a home soon! My Magpie had 12 (Im keeping one) cuties and Im in Lampasas.

I really think the chocolate/white ones will be adorable! LOL
