Hello
Berzie I live way out in SW corner close to KS. Enjoy your time here. I'm originally from Denver lived BIG city, small town isolated rural, seen it all. Love folks in NE.
Wow! You are a bird lover ! Good choices ; I have 1 Calif. Wht. pullet she's a brave girl. Had to get 4 chicks to get her, so I have 3 leghorns too. 4 EE chicks ( one looks roosterish!) And a RIR, 2 production reds,and 1 black Australorp, and 3 smokey pearls pullets ( got at TSC this spring)...
I ordered my girls from Murray Mcmurray but did see some at the local farm store ( Orshelns ) today. You just have a better chance of healthy (vaccinated) chicks to start your flock.
Ok you're going to love this idea. My kids think I should sell my small eggs as"LITE" eggs for 7.50 a dozen! We had a good laugh . Market them as lite or reduced cholesterol, less calorie eggs! Ha ha . Just kidding I live in a rural area ( as you know) and it would never fly
What college you at for now. I would have loved to be a vet tech. But I'm not sure it was a thing back in the 70s . I became an X-Ray tech. and ended up being a medical assistant at the end. I loved it, helping people was so much better than diagnostics. But I do love science.
Well my roost is full at night so that has kept the chicken math at bay so far! What are you studying at school? Major yet? ( since you got a chicken degree! Lol)
