More chicks...a lot of them

I just ordered 25 chicks for delivery next week. And what do I plan to do with a flock of 33 in a city where chickens are illegal? Well, I hope to sell some of the older ones, sell some of the babies, raise some of the babies for eggs, and raise some for meat. I originally had decided to purchase hybrid meat birds, but after reading about some of the leg problems associated with the fast growing tendencies, I just decided to get heritage breed chickens and eat some of them...

I'm looking forward to the babies, but not the work...last time my hen did the work!
