"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Don’t Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch–And Other Lessons On Raising Chicks
"Some time back, we decided to keep chickens to be more self-sufficient with our food. And although we’re “urban farming” on 1/10 acre city lot, and dreaming of a country acreage someday, we’re doing absolutely all we can to maximize our space and our food production where we are now. Up until this year, we’ve gotten our chicks and chickens from other people, at hatcheries, or the feed store. Raising them ourselves this summer has taught us a few things about raising our own food long term."
