I grew up on a farm lo these many years ago.We raised chickens for our own needs and when I became an adult I bought a place in the country and made the order to McMurray's (sp?)for some brown egg layers and was in the chicken business for myself.We now live in town and can't keep chickens, but last year my grandson Jack(7 years) was visiting a distant cousin who had chickens and Jack was in love. The cousin loaned him an incubator and gave him 18 eggs. The boy hatched 16 of them and after a couple neighbor dog incidents, he now has 11 birds. Grandpa is now remembering how to raise chickens and is making regular trips out to the country to help the boy with his.
The birds that got it from the dogs were flying out of the pen, so Grandpa made a late night trip to do some wing clipping. All is well now. Nice place you have here, hope to join in on the fun. Tim
