HYe Ink I wasn't tryin to scare anyone from the good ol' yard bird, but I was meaning to say that it is my reasoning to why I want to grow my own chickens, I know where they came from, what it took to raise them, and what's in them when I cook them. I grew up on this so it's easier for me to do and butcher.
I LOVE farm fresh eggs too.
Lets hope you pay someone to clean the coop. Dirtiest little winged animal alive. Never seen an animal #$%* concrete like they can.
Yes but their litter makes quite good for the garden, when I worked at the turkey farm, they were twice as long as a foot ball field(200yrds duh goon) it took us 14 hrs to scoop the poop out with all the wood chips we used as litter, it would leave a pile 10ft tall 10ft wide and at least 100ft long. The owner made all their money on that crap, they didn't make any money for the birds, we were the ones that grew butterballs, so thank you goon.
ON another note my dad tells me when I worked their(back in 96') if I go wandering in the woods and find a "crop" of dope growing not to touch it or even lookat it too long. He said either theirs a hillbilly in the trees watching you with a shotgun or an atf agent in the trees with a shotgun watching him and you. Needless to say I didn't go in the woods...
Did see the hillbillys though and menanites. I thought I was strange until that day....
