It's really crazy that just 2 days ago (on St. Patrick's Day) these little ones first saw the light of day when they pecked their way through an eggshell! I still am amazed that they are immediately packed up into boxes and shipped out, arriving at your local post office two days later. The crocodile hunter went to the 4H extension office this morning to help sort birds, and incredibly, out of 1250 birds, only one didn't survive the trip.
The girls are raising 25 for a 4H project, and the Crocodile hunter was given a handful of extra birds. We also purchased 10 Cornish Rock Hens for meat and a dozen Red Pullets, so in all we ended up with about 60 birds.
I love this and am fascinated. A huge part of me would want, eventually, to have chickens. Although chickens in a fenced-in backyard in the middle of Mboro will definitely be interesting!! haha
