I recently butched my old spent hens, currently have 16 in the brooder, and 50 cockerels on the way.

Dominiques.

I farm for a living, but there doesn't seem to anything as entertaining and relaxing as chickens at the end of the day.

Brewing, quilting, meat goats, honeybees, reloading, hoppin' on the harley, and small engine repair.

I've been a lurker on here for years. Why not?
