I tols ya, I knew better than look here. If all the other 2 batches all live I will have 240 chicks. I have got to be insane. Changing name to looneychick
More temptation!
HA! HA! HA! I'll tell ya, there never was a better name for a thread! Tia..... I think it is oh-fish-ul......your mind has done gone to the birds!! urrrr, chicks at this point. Glad I'm not the only one that has or is gonna have chicks EVERYWHERE! LOL : )
and let the chicken fairy's baby chicks continue to spread far and wide!!
Christy
lol i like that far and wide. We shall see, the brooder I have now can keep them ALL for another week or 2 but that would be it. i will be talking to friends and others that are not so friendly and see who want chicks. I will get them past the 1st couple of weeks and go from there. I have boards I can put up notices on.
posting a notcie is a great way to meet other poeple who like chicks. so far all who have responded have had them before, or their mom or grandpa did, and they are SO SO grateful to be able to get some!
Yea, and some may not know how to or want to order in the numbers we do. Especially good to do this when we can get them at a discount so they dont have to ummmm "get rid" of them.
i will NOT confess to, or even bothe rcounting, how many CHICKs/CHICKens i have...
yes the chicken fairy likes rescuing chicks... btw, i wonder how my reward fro the chicken fairy is coming? ...
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Saved by not enough birds at xtremes, they were short.
Hey luvs2garden2000 If it's laying hens your interested in, you should take a look at the red stars. Murray Mcmurray Hatch. Layer for layer they are by far the best. They are also very friendly. At least take a look. They are wonderful birds. have a great day. P.S. thanks for the positive comments on my Roos names. Haystack.
red stars are red sex links right or is that red comets
I think they are all the same--basically. Depends on the hatchery--they like to develop their own strains.
oh ok thanks catscan
i am off to the PO! the Chicken Fairy struck hard this week!
tf
LOL I just got my call also. I have to wait tho the grandson is still asleep. Plus I have to pick up some things first for them. Just got the 2nd batch so far the other one will be in either tonight or in the morning.
you all are going to start dreaming about chicks! Chicks, chicks, and more chicks everywhere.....oh my! : )
Christy
LOL yea I already am. Along with flying snakes. I have never ran so fast in all my life. Well in my dream/nightmare last night.
oh my! : 0
Haystack, i looked at them, a bit pricey, will have to wait a bit tho, maybe this fall i might. All depends on how soon I can get the coop built.
i will have eggs for sex links available next year...
these 100 are the healthiest most adorable i have seen yet! gotta get back to work...
tf
I'm so glad I'm not the one explaining 100 chicks to her SO!
I have enough trouble explaining the goats that I keep adding ^_^
MollyD
OHHHHHHHHHH this is the best ever. EVERYONE is alive. and thirst as heck. They had such a low chirp on the way home. This is the surprise special. They are so pretty. And healthy.
here we go
and another these are the surprise special both pics, I wont pick up the bantams till this evening or in the morning.
Very adorable!
I got a set up now, the tubs were 9.95 and the hand towels were 2.79 for 6 it took 6 to cover the bottom, diaper pail, which I forgot to get not sure cant be more than 10 bucks. the stones 1 buck. per waterer. Clothes line to dry the towels. Will keep them in the house for a little bit. Shoot these guys look better than any chick I have ever seen.
Wow Tia, they are so cute! It looks like you got a good assortment.....any idea what they are yet?
Ok, spill the dirt.....how many does your DH think are coming?? : )
Christy
He doesnt. I have no clue what they are, I was hoping ya'll would tell me what I got. I do see some spots on the yellow ones heads, Roo?
Put 3 of the new chicks out in the brooder, gosh they fit right in. No problem, I'm sure has nothing what so ever to do with the table scraps in there, even the new ones went right for the slice of bread.
I am SOOOO jealous... they are so cute...
awwwwwww I will share, well as far as photos. I am going to put them all out there , they are peeping their heads off in the room and not a peep out of them outside(to busy eating the scraps), its so humid and I have a light and blanky for them.
Do you think he will notice 160 more????? No way the other 100 will fit in that brooder. Dang it. Cant hide it unless he comes home late again. and again. I put the 60 out there minus 5 I am watching int the house, Oh gosh it is a flurry of birds, at one end that is the lighted part is totally empty. They are eating. They even have a pet. A frog got in there. I cant get him to save his life. I am not real sure who is more scared.
oh my gosh....I bet the frog in there is a sight! And they are scared of each other, oh boy. I bet that is over with quickly!
Maybe it's good it's hard to count so many moving little balls of fluff?? Of course, once he hits over a hundred or so I think the jig is up! Glad I'm not in your shoes right now......(sheepish grin)
Christy
lol Oh gee thanks they are happy as hogs in ...........
hmm, I bet the frog is the straw that breaks the camels back.. thats probably where he will draw the line!
greta chicks luvs2garden u are realy lucky the chicken fairy got u
Oh I am so loving it, them babies I got today fit right in, I sat out there for 3-4 hrs watching them and no one was picking on the others, actually the bigger ones were helping the little ones. I didnt get the bantams tonight I will get them in the morning.
oh well hope all goes well
i was just laughing my head off reading htis, and boy did i need a good laugh today! congrats Tia!!!
wish i could opst my pics. and my friend in amarillo that took 25 also said they were all perfect and the prettiest she has ever seen, i could not agree more, it will be so hard to sell these cuties!
OK, so you got the non-bantam special. got news for you girl, thinking you could have some brown leghorns in there!
i only got 50 crested and 50 bantams LOL. the kids and DH have already picked out their faves!!! i can't decided, but always tend towards browns... and blues!!!
oh, and i had my three week olds that are left next to them, they just jumped over there, so i took out the divider and it is a nice loving family!!! i love the sweet nature of these birds!!!
I was thinking I got some brown leghorns, This batch was from the heavy I think???? these are non crested and non bantam. I am so EGGcited about this batch. They are really healthy.
