Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to my house, of course! I am an 11-year-old who loves keeping chickens. Now, I realize I’m barely out of the hatchling stage, but boy, I can tell you a lot about these birds.
I joined my local 4-H livestock club when I was 8 and started with the 4-H poultry project known as the “Chick Chain.” After just a few meetings and picking up my new chicks that were ordered, I knew that this was something that I would stick with. I quickly fell in love with raising my newly acquired chicks and everything that went with them! They quickly grew from the brooder box, and they’ve now claimed half of our property.
