anybody keep chickens ?

Lol. I hear that that judge. I been doing some research trying to find a good "dual-purpose" hen. And these barred rocks are what i come up with. There pretty big and lay eggs pretty consistently. Plus there pretty to look at..lol..we plan to build a bigger hog pen and raise 2 or 3 hogs, have a decent flock of chickens (20 or so) , and raise a big garden year round. We already have a few cows. We live right on the river and its loaded with channel cats. Thats plenty of food. Not to mention deer,squirrel,rabbits and the wild hogs. I aint one of these crazy organic or nothing people but were going to try to get as much as we can on our own this year and see how it goes. You still might see me with 2 mcdoubles no mustard and a large sweet tea though! Haha..
