I have been raising chickens for about three years. My chickens are half game and half big stock. I have only one full blooded game, Mamma Game, she to old to lay eggs anymore. I have a total of 13 hens and one rooster, his name is Georgia (yes its a girl name but by the time we realized he was a he not a she he answered to his name). How I got into this is a long story really. Short version, we put Mamma Game and her oldest daughter up after they hatched some babies and my father wanted to keep the hens for the eggs. Then my Baby Girl and Georgia hatched the next year and I hand raised them in the house (yes that's a nono) and then somehow they became my chickens and I was doing all the care taking. I still make dad gather the eggs, I'm not messing with that mean rooster.
