Hello, Dan and Nora! We have visited this site to help us gain info on raising chickens. New to this, yes and no. 50 years ago (more or less is your guess?) I (Dan) grew up into farm life was feeding orphaned calves at 2 yrs old. And of course everything else. Still that was a long time ago. Some things remembered, some things not so much. Careful reaching for eggs and always look before you do! Thanks for all the great info and will be reading more than posting!
