The chicks came on Wednesday and they are growing like weeds. I can't believe how much something that little can eat! I have a person that wants to buy a couple of the layers. So at least I will not have 10-20 new laying hens.
The majority are the broilers and they will be gone after 2 months. Should be able to butcher them in one maybe two days. It has been a few years since I have done chickens and we used to be able to do 50 a day. Only have 40 or so to do. We may spread it out a little more as there is always runts and the pullets never grow as big as the cockerals. We just don't want 9lb dressed birds like last time.
