good day everyone, my name is Robert. I work with mentally handicapped individuals in my community. as a learning project, we have chosen to learn how to incubate and raise chickens. the chickens will be raised as barnyard pets that can be shown off to other members of the community as well as used as a way of teaching responsibility. i am sure i will be needing much support from many members of this on line community. i look forward to future conversations.

good luck and God bless

Robert

Hi have fun

Hi, Robert, what you are doing is a good thing. There is always the possibility of mainstreaming these kids into an animal care related field.
