    German New Hampshire

    It was 14 below at 5 this morning. Scooped some snow, threw out a little scratch and out they came (8:30). They have been cooped up for a day or two, must of been bored. New Hampshire's are not afraid of the cold.[/IMG]

    Chickens 101

    I thought this was thought provoking

    Wow, a quarter mile of barbed wire for 1.87 cents. Back when a dollor was worth a dollor. 7.6 cents each for chicks The wire is roughly 70 dollors now, an increase of 37.4 times. A baby chick at 2.85 is 37.5 times more. Wonder what a dozen eggs was worth back then?
