Our local elementary schools hatch chicks in the Kindergarten classes, and the kids were always so excited when the big day came and the birds began to emerge!Profile Not Availablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759219075260619910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657984774021080564.post-23951333168089676422008-05-14T14:56:00.000-04:002008-05-14T14:56:00.000-04:00We used to raise chickens during World War II.

You could hear them peeping when you stepped inside the building. She also always bought the cheapest which means they were not separated by sex so we got roosters and well as hens. We would raise them but slowly eat the roosters and keep the hens for their eggs. That was the meat and eggs we had during the war years.<BR/><BR/>I have a lot of respect for animals and for chickens the greatest respect of all. <BR/><BR/>The photograph you showed is really nice. And the story about how you got him is even nicer to read as I am sure the kids were very happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
