Struck out at 2 TSC's. called ahead to a 3rd and they have the motherload, but wasn't able to get there before they closed. I'll head over tomorrow.
My plan is to do rolling 4 years, 12 chickens a year, and retire them after 4 years. That way I'll have 48 total at any given time. I'll expand my run a bit and give them some extra room. As it stands, I'm selling out of eggs and have a waiting list so I think having this as a side gig isn't bad. About $200/mo as it stands and I'd have many more customers if I could support them. It's not a lot of work but i keep running out of eggs to eat myself and my wife is complaining.
I plan to do toe punch method to track generations, I've heard mixed about bands. Would love feedback on keeping track of age, since I can't rack their laying individually.
