Hello we are a family of 5 that has just in the past year started raising chickens. I am enjoying seeing my children learning more and more every day about chickens. We went from having 6 hens and 1 rooster to know having 11 hens, 1 rooster, and 41 chicks. We are hoping to sell a lot of eggs this fall and then maybe next spring hatch our own chicks to sell. Just taking it one day at a time.
