@ochochicas I will see if mine increase as daylight increases. If not, we will make the decision then. I thank you for the information re: your chickens and how they've produced. My son is 13 and I am hoping to have him more involved in the economic connection to farm animal raising. I home...

I agree with your philosophy actually. I don't know how to do it, the killing part. I have never hunted, dressed, or any of that. I know people that have and do, turkeys, deer, etc. So, I could get them to help and teach me possibly. Thanks for your input, really appreciate it.

@birdman55 what do you do with them after a year and a half? I wouldn't know where to take them or what to do with them. (if they end up not producing).

First Timer. Got 5 brand new keets yesterday. 2 are a light blue with tan stripes. One "chipmunk" colored. One white. One mostly brown with a white face. They are SO adorable! I think they're even cuter than my chicken peeps were. Looking forward to watching them grow up.

Chkn - "tapes"?

That's a really good idea, B-Gook. I just might try something like that. Very creative!

Careful there, sister. Flying is not my first mode of transportation!

Thank you for your input. I appreciate any and all ideas.

I am soon putting, for the first time EVER (newbie here),in a similar run. I like the sand idea but would like them to have access to bugs, worms, grass, etc. Maybe part sand/part grass?
