My sister & I were raised on a chicken ranch in Clark County, WA. So I learned early about chickens, I had to help feed, gather eggs, clean & candle them too! The hi-lite of our times, my Dad would let us go with him on the egg route. We got a 1,000 baby chicks every spring, which means we had to sell and butcher the old hens. Dad would hire a couple guys to clean out the many chicken houses, so the new poulets would have a nice clean house when they started laying. We also had cattle, pigs (for meat) and a big garden, we farmed 80 acres, so we put up a lot of hay too. My sister and I each had a horse.
It has been about 20 years since I have had chickens, I finally was able to get nine little poulets from a farm store and my son is building me a chicken coop (in between snow storms) that is!!

Well you are certainly hip to the chickens then! You will certainly be a lot of help for all those new chicken owners. :)

So glad you could join and enjoy BYC!

Yes I know, I can't wait for them to go up and give us eggs!! They grow really fast.
 
Thanks for the welcome! It may be snowing today but they say it will be 70 by the weekend, I certainly hope so!
