Who else got chick fever this year?!!!

[Henhouse Harlot]

Exactly what happened to me! Well, the second time chicks ended up coming home with me this year. but they are SOOOOO cute!

So nice to know I'm not alone!

I hatch one group a year and keep a few pullets to keep egg supply up. This year I filled incubator up to capacity and ended up with 27 chicks. I quickly realized that this was too many for my available space. I took ten of them to a chicken auction the next town over so now have 17 left. I’ll raise them until I can sex them and sell any extras that I don’t need. I do need to replace a rooster that I lost a couple of months ago but I’ll probably buy one from the auction for new blood. Next year I will only set about 20 eggs.

That's what I used to say, until I decided that I needed a bigger incubator that could hold more egg's.

@NuggetMama decided to take the 2 chicks that I hatched from my next door neighbor's hens home with her this past weekend.

I had just heard of chicken math but didn't know what it meant. If I had just seen this post sooner.

It won't be looking so golden once the feathers start coming in.

You might get lucky on that one, and John might really be a Joan.
