Raise chickens for meat and eggs ... my mom said I was like my 1901-vintage grandma ... “She just understood chickens.” What a great compliment.
Working on gardening and preserving.
My ‘coop’ (Well, *I* won’t be living in it, LOL!) in the barn re-model should be happening by Spring.
I used to raise laying hens on a large scale. 50+ at a time. I raised Buff Orpington for their brown eggs and year-round reliability and the ‘Easter Eggers’ for pretty colored eggs.
I packaged them in clear cartons with nice labeling, and tied them up like a GIFT with a Raffia bow. I sold them for $2.50/dozen to a local Liquor Store/Deli and he sold them for $5 a dozen and customers yelled for more!
This was before people were allowed to have chickens here, there and everywhere. ;)
My plan for World Domination will involve the Heirloom Breeds to sell to Chicken Lovers Everywhere once they’re ‘feathered out.’
