Well i no longer consider us in the ranch business but rather the CHICKEN business...LOL! I went from owning 7 chicken with 3 of those being roosters to 38 chickens. Early this spring i was a little low on hens so Cassie and i went and bought 15 more hens. Well 11 lived. making a total of 18. Well i was thinking that was a good little flock for our family In tell 1 of the original 7 decided she wanted to set. I was Stoked!!!! I love babies...LOL! Well she ended up hatching 13. By the time that was all over we ended up with 7 new babies. Chickens are chickens after all...Who knows why they die the way they do Anyway so now we are up too 25. Well lets not forget about another one of the original 7 hens that decided SHE ALSO wanted to set....LORDY LORDY! She ended up hatching 14. All are still alive and doing great after 3 days. So we now have a total of 38 chickens. I'm sure there are a few roosters in there but we will handle that later and stick them in the stew pot. For now i am totally loving ALLLL these cute baby's that i have running around. The hens that i did buy are actually laying already which is totally awesome.....ALL that good feed i feed em i suppose. My chickens are really spoiled! Here is some photos of the new babies and others.
