Chickens
My two boys, ages 10 and 12, decided that they would like to try raising a few chickens. I've been around them, we raised a few when I was a kid, but I've forgotten most of what I know.
Here's the set-up. We're thinking of raising a few broilers first, then adding layers if that works out. We've got a place for them, the old chicken coop that's in good shape inside, and a couple local sources of chicks. Thinking around 50?? Maybe 25 broilers plus some egg breed pullets??
I need suggestions on breeds, brooding, general raising, and anything else you can think of!
Thanks!
