I told Tony I would probably not buy chickens today… But I know they arrived just after 2pm at a local store. I happened to buy some things a baby chick would need last night. And I have the perfect box to bring a few home in…
I didn’t promise him I wouldn’t buy any. At least I don’t think I did. The sooner I buy the chicks the sooner we will have our own eggs. Oh man, what to do, what to do.
Lol!!!
You are your father’s daughter!!! I wash my hands of any responsibility- a Holy Week tradition!
It can take 5-6 months for the chicken to start laying depending upon breed, and there is also the chance for loss of a chick. you would now be looking at eggs for the fall. Sometimes you can find laying birds on Craig’s list, but they may not always be the best layers. Let me know if I can answer any questions.
Thanks so much Todd! I am a nervous/excited rookie. As soon as Tony told me that you said to move the water a bit I ran to do it! I can use all the help I can get. I am hopeful we will have a successful first night as everyone seems content after eating and drinking most of the evening. My “farm” is started!
