I'm unsure yet if I can eat mine. I raised cows when I was a teenager, named them, petted them , then ate them... but, I never watched them be butchered, then they were aged for 21 days, and came back packaged. No one around here processes small scale chickens so we'd have to do it ourselves...
Well, about that... mine is saying we must process the ones not laying, but he's been saying this for a year, and there are no hens in the freezer, sooo.....
They pick the darndest places to hang out. My hubby tolerates mine fairly well, he'll grumble about them, but then insist on checking on the chicks to make sure they're all doing good and does their waters in the morning on his days off.
Welcome Peppermint! Great name choice, peppermint bark is a favorite of mine 😃 I also had a horse with Peppymint in the name, granddaught of Peppymint Twist.
Congrats on the great hatch!
