My brother was 9 and I was 8 when we decided to raise chickens for eggs. We incubated 21 and had a setting hen on 8. We had such plans and were counting eggs, not chickens. Eggs these chickens would produce. 15 out of the incubator hatched. The hen did a better job. 8 for 8. 23 chicks and 9 hens out of the entire lot! Lessons learned at an early age.
Still today, 49 years later, still raising chickens. From my early eaxperence I opt for the setting hen. No more incubators for me.
I love the taste of the free range chicken and the eggs. Never want to go back.
Great post! Thanks!
