Then I guess you are NOT in the market for one of these...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.
