It is so funny to me that people who don't know about chicken keeping think we are a buncha ingnert hillbunkles. If they only knew how much study of genetics, hormones, weather cycles, construction, incubation, brooding, range management, fencing, infection control, nutrition, off lable as well as conventional use of drugs, manipulation of ovulation with adding light at strategic times, do-it-yourself surgeries, heating and cooling, plumbing, parasite identification and management, pest eradication, marketing, jucicious buying and selling went into the whole thing, they would have a little bit more respect for us Chickeners.
