Ha haaa!!! Funny you should say that. The other day I was looking at my half grown chicks, thinking you know? a hundred really doesn't take up all that much room!Maximus wrote:QR_BBPOST It's terribly true. I started with wanting 5 and was freaked out at the thought of 5 chickens. A year later it's a mess. But I'm still far more disciplined than most of the people on this forum. Cough cough Robbie. LOLOLOL

You go right ahead Robbie, a hundred really isn't that many. I usually have between 300 and 400 hundred birds if you include the ducks, geese, quail, pheasant, turkey and chicken. Hubby just rolls his eyes when I explain that I "need" all these so my 4-H kids can learn about them.

I started with 25. Only wanted 12 or so but bought 25 dayolds...sold eight pullets...freezer camped two roos...Otis took out a pullet (scarlett) and the one roo ( Earl) and one pullet just up and died...then i got twelve hatching eggs and a sweet dancing roo from OC...hatched out two Ameraucanas, Gimpy is one, and because i thought he/she wouldnt live i acquired another twelve chicks, now almost two months old...in the process, because i was positive that my laying BRs would all go into moult in early autumn and then have ZERO eggs, i ordered 10 RIRs and 10 BSLs from Freys which arrived on the 15th with an extra each so 22 dayolds...and just before that i got three weekold white leghorn chicks from a nice gal near North Gower whose husband got the hatching eggs in a mix of runner duck eggs that he bought from a friend...they didnt need any more chickens so they were basically free...aka cheap...so lessee...12+ 1+ 2 + 12+ 22+ 3 ....chicken math?
