I remember the first time I butchered a chicken..Halfway through pulling feathers and when it started looking like a store bought bird my lil daughter said "Hey dad! There's a chicken in there!"

She was 2 or 3 and didn't know that store bought chickens were at one time living chickens..

Of course, ya have, you've done everything (at least once). Think I'll start call'in ya "Nick Cap." (you'll not understand), but others will...

Well....Jeeez

I've always tried to be a well rounded person and embrace new experiences with enthusiasm. I thought i'd share my chicken experiences with the original poster here.

Sorry I posted

I had 12 imported Giant Red Buffingtons, and one roster. I fed them the hottest feed on the market (Layena) and got 15 big brown eggs a day in the spring and summer..I was a great chicken farmer

Layena? I'm surprised you didn't feed them a Manna Pro chicken feed?
