2 brown as of 11:30. + 4 brown by 2:00.

Made an order for 8 Rhode Island Red and 4 Barred Rock chicks - all female, and 13 Cornish X meat birds - straight run. Will arrive week of April 21. This makes some travel scheduling mandatory as I can't have chicks arrive and be out of town. 25 new chicks - I'll need to determine how to keep them for the first 2 weeks - don't want to just put them with the existing flock as they'd be subject to abuse from the dominant hens and the ducks... This kind of gives me impetus to slaughter the ducks and a few stewing hens in the next few weeks.

Coq au vin, flemish chicken stew, duck sausage, ham & duck sausage gumbo coming soon. Yum Yum!
