I did that when we had goats. Keep in mind that the $$ was a lot more than we (and I think many of us hobbyers) have into chickens. When we did it I was able to write off feed cost, cost of replacement stock, vet care, the trailer to transport to and from shows/sales and a portion of my truck. BUT we had to show a profit in the first 3 years and then 2 of every 5 after. It is not extremely hard but I think many of us would be too small to make it work.

While fixing DW breakfast I looked out the kitchen window and again there is our bald eagle setting in the big cottonwood tree about 150 yards from the house.

Be careful! Black ice can be so sneaky. Hope you're not too bruised up today.

That sounds like a good idea. I would hope the families have prepared for their new arrivals. Are these families already chicken owners, or are they first timers?

Well it's not raining so DH is back outside starting work on the coop again. I know this because I am hearing a LOT of swearing. Yay.

I wish Mr. H were outside working on the coop, but he's cranky. I'm not going to ask him.

Just survived another Home Depot free kids workshop! 5 new mini Nascars to trip over in the night!

Little do they know I'm only doing it so they know how to help build coops later!

well... after a very busy busy long week at work.. I do not think I can even catch up on posts. What am I .. at least 50 pages behind!!!

CR--I am glad you are well. I saw a blip back there that you were sick? But I see ya back here, so am glad of that.

CL~I do hope the flu is over with quickly for you guys. That was us last weekend, although, somehow--I missed it. Thankfully.

I finally got my show form filled out and sent in. Took me forever to decide who to show. Not bringing any Seramas, because the Stevenson show will be their shining moment and I don't want anyone getting sick. I MAY have eggs, although all but 1 hen have gone broody and am not getting eggs super regular now. So Tamara, I am really glad you got those eggs when you did!!!

I have 14 -or something like that- eggs in the hatcher with one little pip so far. They are due to hatch tomorrow officially.

Mostly Seramas in there, with a couple Mille's thrown in for fun. lol!

Now I am off to plant my new razzle berries and strawberries!

edited to add:

to the new folks!
