When I was little I was deathly allergic to chicks so I never had any plans to raise chickens. Well this Easter this little country store I frequent had chicks. Both of my kids were in love and I couldn't say no so we brought two home. A couple weeks later the local feed store had chicks so my husband brought home 4 more. And now tomorrow I'm going back to the feed store to get more . I'm addicted now and don't want to stop!
