is it worth it?

[A.T. Hagan]

I have a small flock of White Leghorns. The boy I bought them from was feeding them just cracked corn and vegetable stand trimmings. But they had no apparent signs of disease or other problem so I brought them home. Put them in a tractor where they got fresh pasture to scratch in every day and a tube feeder full of a good complete ration. They promptly molted and two weeks later started laying large size white eggs everyday like clockwork.

The quarantining part is important.

...you do have a problem...there's a saying like putting your foot before your mouth...or something like that...never mind, I can't remember

Well, maybe I mean counting your chickens after they hatch

Lol, don't mind me...

Congrats! I'm so glad you got them. Those poor things being fed nothing but bread - shameful! I'm sure you'll have them appropriately spoiled in no time!
