I sold 15 of my 19 chickies from my Feb. hatch yesterday. It was kind of sad to see them go, I hope they live a good chickie life and give their owners lots of yummy eggs...
I kept 4 for myself since they are from my 1st bator hatch, I want to watch them grow up and see how they turn out. Once again I'm hoping they are all girls, we will see...
(* March Hatch went on lockdown last night... 36 eggs, hope they all hatch!)

Listen up you two... I'M THE BOSS around this Chicken Shack! Got it!Follow that rule and no one gets flogged.
* Heres some exciting news... we are expanding the chicken area this summer and adding more coop or coops! I'm sure we will add alittle more each year til we get it the way we want it.
Hope they all turn out to be hens! They sure are cute little birds. Nice rooster!
ReplyDelete...and it begins. You will keep building and planning for more. Then you will want to replace an old house to a more convenient design.
ReplyDeleteI started with 1 henhouse. Then 2, then 3, then a bantam house, then 2. Now at 2 hen houses, 4 bantam houses(all being replaced this year with new ones), 1 standard cochin house, 1 open pen, 3 small broody houses, and 1 large outside brooder. 2 more small bantam houses with attached lots are in the plans for this year for breeding quads.

awww..I didnt know you were gonna be selling them. But I guess since your are gonna hatch again..its a good way to thin them out and also earn a little bit of cash to go toward feed and building supplies..every little bit helps ; )
ReplyDeleteThanks Callie - Me too!
ReplyDeleteMatt - LOL I know, I'm addicted! You got alot of pens!
Trish - Yeah I had planned on sell 15 of them from the beginning but didnt hear from the guy for awhile, so I didnt know what was going on. Now I've got more hatching orders to fill, lol Yes every lil bit helps towards their feed!
I really wished we lived closer, because I'd love to buy some from you!!
ReplyDeleteExpanding! Awesome!! Can't wait to see progress pics!
Thanks Katie... that would be cool! I'd love to visit your farm and play with the sheep and goats =)
