Farm Update: Chickens

Chickens are the next venture I have begun. I have bought around 30 laying hens. They are all doing quite well! I allow them to free-range. Eating all the seeds, grass, and bugs they can scratch up. I also give them a good ration of food each day. I am thinking about switching them over to a Non-GMO, Soy Free diet. I have finally found a source of reasonably priced feed. But for now, the beautiful brown eggs are $2.50 a dozen. I am getting around 1 dozen each day. In the Spring, that number should go up. I have also ordered 75 chicks. The plan is to have them laying by July/August.
