Uh Ohh I Have Chick Fever!

[happyhens44]

Its a pretty warm day In northern Wi, 40 degrees!!!! and I dont know why but I have chick fever! I have one egg in the incuabator and 2 broodies outside with there chicks, But now I really just wanna go to the feed store and get more..

Anyone else with me, with chick fever?

 

[magoochie]

This weather has got me thinking about it too! I have 23 chicks in the brooded inside that are a week old. But thinking about getting a couple more.

p.s. 49.6 degrees in grantsburg WI!!!!!!

It's only 36.7 here on Cape Cod, MA but I'm feelin' it too!

I am craving hatching up a cute little batch of baby-faced chickies!

I got in the 70's here today. (It was 16 last week). I've got chickie fever something awful!!! Friday I just happened by the feed store and I thought to myself ...self...even though you don't need anymore chickies...why don't you just swing in there and ask real quick when they will be getting baby chickies......THEY ARE GETTING THEM TOMORROW!!!! MONDAY!!!! but self....you really don't need any more chickies....well self...maybe just one or 2 will be ok....Note to self...be sure you leave work early so that you can get by there for 1 or 2 before they close.

Yup, as I type I have 3 dozen eggs on their way to me. And I just hatched at New Years, but they are all feathered in now, so they're not babies anymore, right?

I'm trying to figure out how long it would take my mom to notice if i put a brooder in the garage with a couple of chicks... she says no more chickens, but we only have two, and i'm sure we could easily have 4... I'm thinking I should call the feed store and ask if they have chicks, and what kinds... I could always tell my mom they were a valentine's day present!

 

[Pascal PicklePants]

Yes, yes I do. I just lean on the edge of the brooder for hours watching them do their thing

48 degrees in central MN yesterday. I built a snowman with my nephew in a T-shirt.....and was sweating.....it has been a very strange winter
