I am starting to realize that free chickens can be addictive. Yesterday I saw an ad on Craigslist for free chickens. The guy just wanted to get rid of them, because he had more than he could handle. When I got there, he had cochins and golden laced wyandottes left. They were in terrible shape, and had no food or water on a 90 degree day. I ended up with 10 more chickens. They are about 3 months old, so they are out of the brooder stage, thank goodness.
Since all the poultry I have now is straight run, I am hoping I will have about 10 hens at the end of the day. The roosters will have to be very nice, or they will end up in the stewpot.
