Hi Pampered Chicken, I grew up near Moundsville WV, on a Dairy farm and Mom had a flock of approx 100 chickens as well. She sold eggs and butchered some for meat each fall.

I Love your story I met my husband in the same area he also grew up on a dairy farm, his Aunts dairy 5 miles from our farm but they did not have chickens. He is warming up to my chickens and loves watching when I let them out each morning. The other day he even referred to them as his chickens LOL. I guess he has accepted them

I worked in Moundsville a few times. While the penitentiary was there I was a 'guidance counselor' for incoming inmates helping them decide if they wanted to get their GED or learn a trade while there. And then later, I taught 7th/8th grade at Moundsville Jr. High. Are you still in that area then?

For the last 20 + years my husband and our family have been in Greenbrier Co. Southeastern WV. Husband worked at the Penn in 1979. Back forever ago the Penn was a working Farm near the fair grounds. I am not sure if they had chickens back then. My husband and I grew up there on Dairy Farms 5 miles apart, and Mom also raised Chickens for meat and eggs to sell. We almost never bought groceries at the store, except salt, flour ect. Husband got out of corrections in 2007 and now he and I are both not working, the last 8 years we worked for Davis-Stuart group home for teen boys level 1. They have a level 2 for teens residents in Lewisburg, a farm with cattle, rabbits, horses but as far as I know not any chickens. Maybe I will mentions it to them. They like donations I will check and see. My husband became disabled back in February after a major heart attack and surgery ect. We are enjoying our chickens and Grandkids now Have a wonderful Holiday!

Wards, in Parkersburg. It's a local feed mill, very old...I can get fresh layer mash there for $10 and change for a 50# bag. Been feeding it for 4 yrs now and am still loving it.

Our mill closed in Renick years ago so now I get my feed at Tractor Supply Co. in Lewisburg WV almost 40 miles from me but so is my grocery shopping so I make one trip of it. Yes I live in the sticks but love it!
