Ok what do you do with all the chicks? do you sell them ? I cant think you keep 57 chickensThanks!
I've got 14 laying in this flock. All of these eggs were collected over the course of 7 days from February 23rd to the 29th. The infertile eggs were equally spaced out in the incubator meaning there were probably only two or three pullets laying infertile eggs.
I'm collecting eggs now for my next hatch.
Yes, I will sell them. I’ve already sold 21 of them. I do need to keep 14 or so females to set up a sex-linked breeding flock under a Gold male, so I will keep the other 36 of these until they are old enough to determine sex and then I will sell or process all the males.Ok what do you do with all the chicks? do you sell them ?

I did get the NPIP testing done on my flock so that I can sell chicks and hatching eggs and ship them if needed.
Not too shabby at all! Congratulations!!Well, my hatch is done.
