Why don’t you see what the neighbors raise?
I’ve been asking neighbors for two years! All get is blank stares and, “Well, they’re just *chickens*. You know... chickens!”
I guess the folks here are most interested in mutts.
When I ask then what they feed their flocks I get, “They feed themselves!”
Maybe it won’t be as hard as I’m anticipating. My mom raised Cornish Cross and it was a nightmare. Those things break a leg just hopping off their perch in the morning. They’re like sheep: Just looking for an excuse to die.
