You have certainly come to the right place to find other chicken folks! People here have experience, knowledge and a willingness to share with others.

I like that your kids will know where their food comes from, although I'm hoping you mean eggs. Not all kids want to know that the drumstick on the table was once a leg of their favorite pet! But, yes, we did eat (only the unnamed) chickens when I a kid, and those chickens had grown up in our coop. Named chickens got a pass on becoming entrees.

Enjoy the journey because your pullets do grow fast! And then come the eggs!!!!

Welcome to BYC!

oh yes ! just eggs - they already want to give up chicken now lol
