What do you do with all of those chicks?

Well.... I am going to try and sell most of them. Some are to replace my laying flocks from last year. Some of my pens need more pullets so I can sell hatching eggs. Hard to do that when I can only get 6 eggs a week

They are not all going to hatch... and of what will hatch 1/2 will be roos... so all in all if I kept them all I would only have my replacement flock in one hatch...

 

[DMRippy]

you make one BIG omelet!

that would be LOTS of BIG omelets!

OK tomorrow is cookie day

I'm taking the day off after 15 hours of selling over the past 2 days and 4 hours of driving.Don't get me started on these parents today that commit to something then back out when it becomes work leaving it all for a few.
So,if everyone wants to meet earlier we can.I will have both of my Littles with me so not sure how long we will be staying but long enough for some gossip,fun and food

and we can't forget enough time to enable those needing some "help"
If you can't make it tomorow and I have your cookies please let me know shortly so I can get them to you along my travels
Red Robbin around 1or noon?

Noon is better for me. My poor chickens haven't had any time out to free range all week. The earlier we meet the earlier I can let them out (and y'all are perhaps the only people on the planet that will understand that and not get offended!).

 

[DMRippy]

I don't think I can make it.... maybe next time. Holly I will be going to Becky's soon like next weekend, I could pick up the cookies then.

 

[HBuehler]

Noon is good for me..I haven't seen my chickens at all for a few days and hardly seen my buns.
Donna I'm not in TN any Saturdays until April..Next Sunday will work but make it later in the afternoon...no mornings.The show is a triple in Dalton and then a long drive home..I won't be up early

Hey! My name is Leah, and I am a brand new chicken owner in Nashville. I think I may be obsessed with chickens I just got my girls this past weekend!

 

[Raven1]

Well welcome to the club Leah we are all obsessed here!!!

 

[CarolJ]

Welcome Leah!

I went by the Franklin TSC awhile ago and they had chicks - just got them in today - black australorp (straight run), black sex link pullets and RIR pullets. They are expecting more this week. So I'll stop by again tomorrow or Wednesday and see what's there.

How did the meet-up go yesterday?

My welsummer finally started laying yesterday - and I love the pretty dark eggs! So glad to finally have a darkish brown egg.
