Obviously new to the chicken world

Last year was our first year with chickens, and we started out with about 25. After we found out which one of our 5 rescue dogs loved the chicks, but not in the true "loving since", we had lost about 5. Our resident Owl got a couple more, and I ran over one with the tractor. (We free range them).

So, we needed to build back up to where we started, plus with our experience we felt more comfortable with a few more this year.
She's more of an animal lover nut than I am, so when the chickens get to old to lay they will probably go into a resident geriatrics center.


Don't get me wrong, I love animals.........but Judy was president of the local humane society for several years and saw way too many animals put down. So we don't.
