Great Source for Information and Resources for the Chicken Farmer

Do you want to raise chickens for yourself or to sell, but don't know where to begin?

Or, , if you already are raising chickens and just want more information ....  check out this site at the University of Connecticut web-site.

I had no idea they have a "chicken" department with lots of very good and useful information and resources including a ready to use spreadsheet to help keep track of your chicken expenses, etc.

This checklist will answer so many questions from selecting your chicks, what to do before and hen your chicks arrive, and how to maintain your flock.

If you are at all like me and cannot create a spreadsheet with tables, you will appreciate this free download from their web-site.
