How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[Spartan22]

17/21 I would say the 23 yesterday was a fluke

or was I delirious since I called off work sick

I have a disappointing 10 of 18 now

I had one go broody but she was quite young but took three live happy chicks on at a time
to her she accepted them was like 4 days then one by one found them dead in the corners

That's always so disappointing and sad.

No! It's chicken holiday!

Maybe they decided they needed a day off after all the overtime working on Easter!

16 eggs today. I found out that my coworker gave me 4 Golden Comet chicks and 2 Speckled Sussex chicks. She had bought them for Easter for her grandkids. She did ask me before hand if I would be willing to take the chicks from her after Easter because she only wanted them for a couple of days! Hey, who am I to turn down free chicks?

So I have 14 chicks in the brooder, 2 that I have hatched, 2 Black copper Marans that I bought when I thought I was only going to have the 1 chick hatch, 6 meat chicks that I got from school after they hatched and now the 5 chicks my coworker gave me. I also have 3 Bronze turkey poults that I bought. Then there are the 4 chicks in the "barn yard" that Momma broody is raising and the 11 eggs that the other broody is still sitting on!

I hope my hubby can handle everything when I leave on May 4th to drive to Bowling Green, Ohio to pick up my daughter from college. He is a very reluctant chicken keeper.

12/14...one gal is still sick and one is molting. I thought chickens molt in the fall only?!
