Redwing Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I picked up 4 two day old Silkies today they are sooooo cute and I am thrilled We had a one and a half hour journey home, it was like having a Jibber Jabber (remember them??) in the back - they were all chatting away Edited September 13, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 You wouldn't be thinking of ultimately using them for hatching would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 But it doesn't seem like 35 when you meet them, they are all spread around in different runs and brooders....thanks again for introducing me to them all Tasha Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joybelle Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I havn`t been on here for a few days so to see your total go from 29 to 35 was a surprise, or perhaps not Tasha!!!!!!! Joy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 35 isn't too many more than me. We started with 3 from Omlet, we are up to 23 now, 4 of which are cockerels & we plan to hatch more soon & buy a couple more. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I *think* I've got 39. Some are dinners though, a couple are for sale but I stick by my affirmation to only have around 25 by the end of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisEllis Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 How do you house them all...you must have spent a fortune?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have spent a fortune on coops this past year, I wish me or OH were good at building them I have two massive wooden coops, each can hold around 20 birds. The ladies are in one, the other has the ex-batts and young boys plus Penelope Silkie. The Brahmas are only about 16 weeks and did live there but didn't like the rough and tumble so chose to move in with some other growers I have in a smaller coop. Tiger Lily and her chicks are in my broody coop & run. Then in the garage I have a brooder with five chicks in it. They're ready to come outside now but until the boys are gone I can't move my other growers to the big coop so they'll have to stay where they are for a few weeks. I've been hatching all year so it's been hard work! And I forgot the Brahmas when counting how many I've got so it is 41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
