This
all started innocently enough with a gift of a "coop",
and then the question of "I wonder what would happen
if I tried it?" From there you just knew that it was
"on". My sister always follows through with her
commitments, especially when animals are involved. But as
the days went by it went from one coop, to two, and 3 chickens
to more than 15 now. Each day that goes by I get progress
reports, and I keep up with the ever improving lives of my
Sisters' girls. |
The
real excitement started when the "girls' started to produce
and earn their keep earlier this year. They began to lay,
and lay, and lay eggs. So much so, that my sister now has a long
list of faithful customers on a waiting list at work. She was
laughing the other day when we were discussing the latest on her
progress at the farm, and when I asked her what was so funny she
replied, "The demand is so great Lance, I may be able
to just quit my day job and retire on their work." Of
course I knew she was just kidding, but it brings me back to the
point of this story. Raising Chickens, both in rural areas, and
in the city, has exploded throughout America, it brings out the
true feelings of freedom and self sufficiency. The pride of those
who "raise Chickens" is undeniably abundant, and their
sense of accomplishment? "PRICELESS"!!!!
In
a world of "self help" programs designed to help your
mind through positive thinking, your body through better nutrition,
the "Raising Chickens" phenonomen is the perfect program
for the "SOUL". It may not be on the New York Times
best seller list, but mark my words, before you know it, I guarantee
it will be coming to your neighborhood soon.

In
fact, here in Nebraska recently, the city of Wayne recognized
the power of the Egg, by holding it's annual "Chicken
Day". The mayor of Wayne reported that it continues
to grow each year and people are now coming from all over
America to celebrate what Chickens truly mean to them each
day. In my sister connies case, and in mine as well, you can
say..."The power of the Egg" is undeniable in
changing our lives for the better, and now I've come to find
out...in thousands more families all over this great world
of ours... |
