Thanks wicked, still learning how to properly use this site and make use of all its info. I guess I came into this whole chicken farming scene a little backwards if I must say myself. I always wanted chickens when I was young, I believed that it was possible for one to raise them on one's own. Now, I will say that my parents urged me that keeping chickens was nonsense in their book, due to all the hard work involved and such, it never became more than a dream or fairytale to me. It wouldnt be until much later in my life that the reality of chicken farming on my own would set in. This came after much gained enthusiasm on the idea, after a backpacking trip through most of Europe and parts of africa , and especially while in Egypt where after seeing how simply and easily they were raising their own chickens in what seemed to be extremely efficient coops. Then, to be honest I first fell in love with the design and beauty of their coops before ever knowing that any chickens were even kept within. This I admit seems a little bit strange, but none the less is true. It really came as a surprise to me, quite a surprise really.
I'm finding there are many ways in which one could raise chickens, as if one was elevated by benchmarks through gained knowledge, research and scientific study as through the scrutinizing eyes of the observer as he peaks through his objective lens. Though I may have chosen the most complex method to go about raising chickens, the funny thing is when it comes to the universal concepts that do reach across the full spectrum of methods, it's with these I'm having the most trouble... For instance does the observer with his observations stand his ground and anchoring himself in his beliefs allows his mind to wander in a spastic stigmatized way, or does he contemplate himself and his beliefs while pacing here and there with anxiety no bearing and a racing mind?
