Help me see reason - no chicks this year
I am 3 months away from having my first child. I walked into Murdock's today after insisting this year would be a break from adding any babies and stood over the chick section for 15 minutes, paralyzed with fluffy butt need.
Now I desperately want 5 layer chicks. I've raised hundreds of birds and usually grow out 30-50 chicks a season so my baby brain is telling me 5 chicks is basically zero birds. But also, human babies are a giant black hole of experience for me so I intellectually know that this one baby will be enough baby.
Help me not drive back tomorrow and buy chicks!!
