I have bought a couple of issues but haven't had time to read them yet...I'm hoping it's not for raising chickens to eat. The cover seems to suggest caring for them, so I'm assuming I won't freak out when I read them. But before I can have chickens, I need a bigger home and land where I'd be allowed to raise them.
Maven, I too would like to have a few chickens...for eggs. I doubt I can do that, though, since I live within town limits in a neighborhood. There is also a website I looked at recently which describes the characteristics of each breed of chicken, telling which are tamer, can be handled, etc., as opposed to mean ones.
Thanks for this!
