I will have to check around and see what we can find... our local college has beef and airy cows and sheep, I think, but not chickens that I know of.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029296444906951529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144843546944203243.post-9280113970200406772011-04-26T13:46:28.327-07:002011-04-26T13:46:28.327-07:00I signed up to do this through the local universit...I signed up to do this through the local university and we bring the chicks to a farm when they are a week and half old. Our city ordinaces do not allow backyard chickens, so I never even thought about keeping them. Honestly, this has been quite an experience for me as well. I grew up as a suburban girl and no where near the country. So, I'm not all that familiar with any of it and am thankful the university had a class for me to take. They also provided us with feed to last a couple of weeks. It's like little pellets and man oh man does it smell! Your girls would really get a kick out of a little project like this. You should investigate it out in your neck of the woods.Tiny Actionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304288870374605347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144843546944203243.post-46810287057150862742011-04-26T12:43:06.905-07:002011-04-26T12:43:06.905-07:00How exciting!!!

I was strongly considering doing this ourselves, but our city just had a council meeting in which allowing backyard chickens was proposed and unanimously shot down. :( I figured we'd better not push it and add more chickens to the five we already have! For now, our neighbors don't mind our hens, so that's a good thing!<br /><br />What do you feed them when they are tiny newborn chicks?Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029296444906951529noreply@blogger.com
