How and what do I know about chickens? Experience. Nine years ago I purchased more than 100 chickens from several sources, both local and mail order. I learned what chick starters they prefer, and which feeds they prefer as adults. I’ve raised over a dozen different breeds. I personally constructed their houses and outdoor pens. …And I’ve collected their eggs to enjoy the best eggs – and French toast – that I’ve ever eaten.
But…it’s not all a bed of roses.
