WOW grannieAnnie 300 now that is lots of eggs!! were they still pets or did you eat them too?? I would like to see a pic of inside your converted shed if possible, I think I may be having a move around!
I started off with day old hybrids to raise and sell at POL, but then we got into breeding a few pure breeds, we had RIR's LSussex, Indian Game, Araucanas and silkies, then we got a small flock of parent stock to produce the shaver blacks. And we had our meat chicks and the Christmas turkeys.
The shed that Brian enlarged to a 16 x 8 he made 4 partitions, half ply and half wire, that was where we kept the pure breeds, but our 17 layers are in there now.
The first 300 Amberlinks we got (I only ordered 125 as we'd never raised from day old before, but the hatchery got let down by someone for 500, so we took the 300. They were going cheap!
) started life in the 6x4 shed that I'd prepared for the 125, but we hadt o hurry up and get the bigger shed ready for them as they were a bit crowded! So then they ended up in the extended shed which was our goat shed, so they then had 6ft x 32 foot to run around in!
This is the 16x8 one as brian was building it, but not sure if I have a picture of it with all 4 partitions.
