I have many pens and brooders!

Right now I have over 200, but less than 300 ..... I think! I am growing out the ones I want to become breeders. Then, I will only keep 2 roos and 8 hens, of each breed. I have my breeder pens done, but still have to finish the fencing for the runs. I have 10 of those. After I have decided...
