As it should be. Chickens are awesome. Just take the time to watch them. I guarantee some of your stress will be lifted.

We maybe getting there.It's a shame this is no longer the norm.
Very cool!Back in the early part of the last century (1917 - 1918) the following was published in multiple poultry magazines :

The text reads:
Uncle Sam Expects You To Keep Hens and Raise ChickensTwo Hens in the Back Yard for Each Person in the House Will Keep a Family In Fresh EggsEVEN the smallest back yard has room for a flock largeenough to supply the house with eggs. The cost of main-taining such a flock is small. Table and kitchen waste pro-vide much of the feed for the hens. They require little attentiononly a few minutes a day.An interested child, old enough to take a little responsibility,can care for a few fowls as well as a grown person.Every back yard in the United States should contribute its share to a bumper crop of poultry and eggs in 1918.In Time of Peace a Profitable RecreationIn Time of War a Patriotic Duty"Every back yard in the United States should contribute its share to a bumper crop of poultry and eggs..."That sure sounds like our vision: "A chicken in every yard!"How cool is that!?!?(oh, and please don't post anything political in this thread or we'll need to remove it)

I've just printed 20 copies for random distribution around town. Sometimes living in a college town rocks!
Oh Please, PLEASE DO! I'll post 'em around here, for sure!I'm trying to get a higher resolution version / scan. There may be one in one of the Google Book scans linked from the first post.
They already DID approve it ... Remember "A chicken in every pot?" We'd only have to add a letter ... A chicken in every Spot! We can blame it on Autocorrect!maybe you could change the date on it to 2010, and distribute it nation wide. The politicians won't remember if it's something they approved of or not.
So what happens with the chicks you hatch? A few years ago I ended up with 4 broiler chicks that a teacher had sent home to a family that knew nothing about chickens. They we’re getting fed corn flakes. A friend of theirs asked me if I would take them. I didn’t know what the little yellow chicks were till they grew up. I think planning ahead for the fate of the chicks should be a requirement of these projects.Oh Please, PLEASE DO! I'll post 'em around here, for sure!
EDIT: OOPS! I just realized that this was a VERY old post ... AFTER I responded, of course (That's what ya get for highlighting an Oldie-but-Goodie!)
Still - I'm gonna go searching, 'cause I'm hoping the higher resolution version was found and posted. I am SO putting few up around town ... and in each of our Kindergarten classrooms ... right next to the incubators that will start showing up in the next couple of weeks!
