Lets see how many chooks we have.......

[jessmorris]

2427 minus 3 lovely Wyandotte boys (yes I had a LOT of cockerels in that hatch!) All culled and the breasts and legs cooked up with onions, mushrooms, garlic and cream...
= 2423.

[jessmorris]

2423 plus 6 (2 x lemon cuckoo and 4 x blue laced wyandotte banty chicks hatched yesterday) = 2429.

[Glutton4...]

Down to 2428 - I lost one of my old Batties in the week.

[SMS6]

PLUS ONE - 2429 - Roxy - 17 week old pullet (which we are praying starts laying and not crowing)

[petal]

plus 4 good 'ol layers: speckles, goldie, sky and bluebell(er guess the hybrid breed....)2433

[jessmorris]

2433 minus 2 white silkie pullets who've gorn upriver in the Lune valley to be happy broodies with a nice lady called Sue.
= 2431.

[Glutton4...]

Another oldie turned up her toes in the night. RIP Battie.

That takes the total down to 2432

[frias]

Minus an ex-batt here too. PTS at the vets as she had a tumour. RIP Primrose.

2432-1= 2431

[Munch]

2430 - frank in freezer!

[jessmorris]

Don't forget my two silkies! Now we are down to 2428!
PLUS one very new Amrock girlie (I hope) = 2429.

[Munch]

I lost my gorgeous Pepper this morning, just a 'bog standard' but the temperament of an angel. I hope it was quick and she didnt suffer.

2429 - 1 = 2428

[Munch]

2427 - One missing as well as the above

2429 - 1 = 2428

Oh munch. It's a bad day for those hens called pepper today. We culled our pepper today due to a prolapse. Hugs to you. Xx


That's 2427 - 1 = 2426

[Munch]

Minus 2 little 12 week old sebrights. They just couldnt handle the shock

2426 - 2 = 2424

Sorry to hear that Polo, they will be sorely missed
