Well except for the one Lakenvelder who gives me a new batch of chicks each year. She raised 16 chicks this year and every single one of them are still around. Unfortunatly 6 are roosters of which only one will be retained. I haven't chosen who but I do know which one will not be staying.Hexehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716320947963452767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-72187667147407862922015-11-06T14:07:54.512-05:002015-11-06T14:07:54.512-05:00OK, you've taught me a lesson.
