who has them and how many?
As mentioned in a thread in the classifieds, we have about 30 right now. Most of what we have now or what I called 4-H Show Chickens. We bought these through 4-H and my oldest has been competing in the 4-H chicken show that usually happens in May, but doesn't look promising this year.
We started out with 6 chickens in one pen, now we have 3 pens and one truck that is so heavy that it's just a short pen. We don't use it alot.
We try to hatch some each year just to keep something going and the wife hatches some in her classroom. We don't have a good hatch rate, only like 50%. I've been told it's a combination of the type of incubator and that we keep it in the building. The guy says it's too much temperature range to be much more successful than that.
We sell at a local chicken auction when we decide to get rid of some. I would sell to anyone that wants them though.
Anyway, Let's talk Chicken!
