    Class offering chicks in San Fran, what do you think?

    Ah. I see the humor now... After reading through Storey's Guide, I knew they weren't being accurate with egg amounts... Anything to lure customers, aye? So, does the time of year for this class seem an ok time to start with chicks? I recall reading in Storey's that said chickens raised...

    Class offering chicks in San Fran, what do you think?
