Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Stay away from all major stores and hide out as much as possible until after the new year...
You, sir, are an amazing person...

Great reminder Liz!!

All is possible.

On a different note, i got my 10 meatie chicks this evening- gonna be a bit of juggling with space but thats ok

Excellent. Are the POL pullets blue eggers?

Alas no - just dual purpose brown egg layers. Just keeping them for a few months until my sex links begin laying, then theyll be for the chop and sold

PF - i put it down to very slowly evolving maturity

bbq time in 6 weeks. Book yer flights y'all!

Rav - yeah i have two pens now, but due to circumstances, i could really do with 3 at the moment. I got some 4 week old chicks and these meaties but only one pen - oops

ETA - forgot that i got 5 POL pullets yesterday as well

Aha!! Now the chicken math is admitted!!

Hmmm... kinda sounds like me now, too...

That's still a great gift to that young man and his family... priceless to them, no doubt... thank you...

I certainly would never dream of making such claims

my quandary is do i put the 4 week olds in the pen and grow the meaties indoors or vice versa? Also i dewormed the pullets in the (now free) pen. Would the dewormer kill or just purge the parasites? Its a dirt floor so Im not confident in trying to clean the pen - any suggestions?

Could the meaties live with the 4 week olds? I'm of no help in cleaning the dirt.

From what I hear about meaties, I would not want those in my house... but I'm not sure...

As for then pen, not much you can do about the possible eggs in the ground, deworming just purges the birds... just try not to ground feed at all or very much... maybe Kathy has some ideas???
