I just can't imagine 90+ chicks all peeping their little heads off

Honestly, 90+ chicks is not unheard of for peeps that breed to the SOP

You're gonna be making a lot of breakfasts in the near future

Good thing he LOVES fried eggs and hard boiled eggs, I'll keep the fridge stocked with hard boiled eggs and try to get up a little earlier in the mornings to cook breakfast...

Pick a couple for me. My two-year-old said to name them "Green Bean" & "Pizza"

I'll give you an Ester Egger for Green Bean, .... a GN D'uccle for Pizza!

I'll mark them later on Post No. 4, we're out and about right now.

That's almost three times the amount of birds I have! Tink is NOT playing around

I take my hobby very seriously! oof, the feed bill is going to be unsightly! I feed organic...

We have a lady here who ordered from a hatchery. She wanted 4 chicks and now has... 250?!

250!

She posted in the local FB group trying to rehome and I was very shocked.

Yeah, that's the spirit!

I need all my fancy silkies to hatch so I can start building my pens

I'm thinking the same, but oh how fun!!! I've got 14 adults and will be going up to 20 or so but much more than that, we'd have to build a second story on our coop!

I have to sell some this time around, I'll be selling any black, barred, or golden colored chicks from my layer pens ASAP after they hatch. There's someone who wants a Light Brahma if it's a cockerel (phew!), and I'll sell most of the silkie chicks from my flock, I'll just keep a few that look unique of just hit me as needing to stay.
