Who else got chick fever this year?!!!

[Farmgirl283420]

Me! And hubs says no more babies. I have 6 pullets age 20 weeks (only 1 has started laying), and 12 smaller babies age 10 weeks. I don't think I can get babies and integrate them for a bit. I don't have a separate area. I have a run and coop area, and an indoor brooder. If it was summer I'd use a small heat lamp and keep them outside (if I got babies) but the others would be way bigger.

post pictures if you can I would love to see them!

Would 3-4 week old chicks count as babies… lol. I say they aren’t! Husbands have to be veerry careful in their exclusionary vocabulary.

These are my babies. The smaller ones are all barnyard mixes. I am believing that 4 or 5 are cockerels. Which I need to find homes for them or build them a backyard shelter. Aka bachelor pad.

The bigger pullets I have:
RIR (2)
Light Brahma (She's my bestie)
Dark Brahma
Sapphire Olive Egger (has started laying)
Americauna (Easter Egger)
