Jerry was in the truck making calls to mississipi SO....i went in alone.lol

When i came out....

Jerry said.. i KNEW better than to let you go in Rural King.lol

Some of em have poopy butts so i got em real cheap but i usually have pretty good luck with saving em.

Im not sure how many there are till i get home and count em.

The anaconas(black and white ones) i got cheap but ill be able to sell them for good money if i decide to sell em. Some ill keep.

It gives me something to do while Jerrys in mississippi.

I wondered why i bought a bag of chick starter yesterday..




It feels like Christmas.

Nice!!! Let us know how you did with survival rate. You still will make money at it what ever the outcome is.

Ill keep you updated. Theres 51 according to my receipt

Yeah, poopy, butt is not hard.Just a soft paper towel with hot water on it...

I don't think i've lost a single 12 that.But I keep up on em every day when I hatch em...

The last few years I've been buying like 18 at the feed mill because then they come in. And if they die in the mail you don't pay for them, you only get healthy chicks.

Rural king will replace them if they die with 3 days

Cathryn, do you also hatch your own with broody hen or incubator? That's a lot of chick's, my wife had a cow when I brought home 14.

I have a buff orp that I think may be broody-ish. She wants to sit on eggs for a while, but then gets up on roost. If she'd stay on them fine, but at 11* they crack by morning. Probably not the best time to have a broody hen.

Cathryn, awesome.

Did you just buy them out of what they had left to get a deal?

We won't have chick's for sale up here for a long time yet

What's cheap?

Tractor supply will have them here in a couple months, but they're expensive, and never saw them reduce the price on older chicks...

Gotta ask them at Tractor Supply and they will drop the price. Also can give them your phone number and have them call you when chicks get older and new ones are coming in to sell. My Nephew gets 100"s a year from them that way for a buck each, sometimes turkeys and ducks too.

Those lucky chicks hit the jackpot having you find them = lucky chicks....jk
