ANN BAILEY: Singing the praises of chickens
Last winter, one of my plans for the spring season was to buy some young laying hens to add some young blood to my mom’s aging chicken flock. Her 20 chickens are 6 years old, a pretty advanced age for layers, and production had dropped off, so I figured we could get a few new hens to increase our egg numbers. I have a lot of friends who enjoy farm-fresh eggs, so I wanted to collect at least a dozen a day.By: Ann Bailey, Grand Forks Herald
