Depends on a couple things. Feed costs, if you do organic it is very expensive. If not, doesn't actually cost that much. Also how many would you want? If you get 30 chickens you are going to have 2 years where you have way too many eggs. I think we have around 13 hens right now with 6 new chicks in the garage. most the hens are older and lay a egg every couple of days. Just about right for as many eggs as we eat. We usually get 3-6 new chicks each year, and sometimes meat chicks. Every year the meat chicks and/or roosters will go to the butcher shop. Any way, not really that much to it. When we first started with chickens 6 years ago, we were all concerned about where they would go, who would take care of them, what would we do with eggs and so on. Really did not turn out that hard at all. Built a little chicken coop. Open the coop in the morning and give them food and water. Get the eggs at night and close them up. Of course it differs from place to place. Just make it fit your needs. Build a coop with a fenced roof so now critters can fly in.get yourself 10 chicks and keep them in a box until they get old enogugh to start flying around, then move them to the big coop with a warming lamp.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
