The awesome poster came from Poultry Tribune vol. 23, 1918, which was a poultry magazine started in 1895. I am a guest blogger for the site .

Why not?

I'm over for the 2 per family members, but I live in an area where at least every other house has chickens and I still don't have the most, so not over for my area.

Cool.

Which is better?

Maybe we can get chickens in this yard...

There is a rooster in the ad! So Uncle Sam wants everyone to keep a rooster TOO!!!!!

Well, considering the date of the ad, I think Uncle Sam now has Alzheimers and has forgotten that self sufficiency is what made this country great as well as a few other things, LOL.

I love, love, love that ad, Nifty! Gee, I'm way over, though. Two family members, 40 chickens. Oh, that's just 20 per person, just one little extra zero!

Hi
When I have a few moments, I can bring it into Adobe Illustrator and do a really nice cleanup job. Although I think the ad is great (I'm into vintage stuff), I'm not sure I want everone around here to have hens, because then I couldn't sell my pretty green eggs.
