Good morning all! One cup down, ducks and chickens are doing well and we had our first thunderstorm of the season this morning.

I forgot to give you an "awwwh moment" My old mini stallion is loving on one of the 2 day old trips. He's quit mellow! They snuggled for a few. All 3 have have running around and under him..no issues with "uncle Amego"

A sentiment I see several people share.

Went to post office to pick up meat chicks. Ordered 50, got 43 live chicks. Bummer on the dead ones. I’ll call and get credit for the dead ones.

@Baymule, never bought that many at one time. So, do they come in several boxes or a large one (probably divided inside)?

This year I am considering -- no commitment yet -- replacing my flock of hens. Well, at least 1/2. See my commitment showing? Not REALLY wanting to wait for them to grow, the care while, etc. BUT....many hens are getting older and there's the "eat the same, lay less" issue.

Who did you get them from?

 

[Daxigait]

I have bought chicks from Hoover hatchery because they are certified mycoplasma free. They come color marked with colors on their heads.

Sounds like it is "freezer list" making time....course, I guess it depends on the reason ya have them....ya been at this for a while now.....

Yeah, older hens may not be so much freezer material as soup stock material.

Yeh...they make Great chicken and dumplins........"rightly seasoned", of course.....

Thanks @Baymule
Already checked the bunnies... no kits yet but two have nests. Super windy... 40°

Funny... me too (wind, not kits)

Wind was barreling along all night last night... still some gusts this morning.
