Well, that is a lot! Congratulations!This thread has reached the quarter million views.
I did not expect anything like this response when I started it. It was, as I have written near the begining, more of a diary which would not necessarily be of much interest to most.
I would like to thank all of you who have read, contributed and supported this thread. It wouldn't have happened without you all.
Also thank you for trying to keep the thread on topic and paying your taxes.
I agree with @DobieLover, I came because it was the first big thread I found about ex-batts, and I definitely learned a lot.
Your threads brings a different perspective and a counterpoint from others on BYC where chickens are most often viewed as pets, or livestock.
