April 30th Coulson and Daddy bought 20 Cornish rock chicks....$.99ea.
Adilaide helped me get their living arrangements ready......no cost already had all equipment; heat lamp, newspaper, waterer, feed dishes (we do this every spring.)
2 bags of chick starter feed.....$16.99 ea.
Total cost....$53.78
We lost one Chick, and took care of them for 34 days, then in a two hour harvesting project
(May 4th), they were all in the freezer....which comes to a cost of...... $2.83 per bird.
Family Project, Knowledge our Children gained.........priceless
Yes! That is a chicken with it's head cut off.
Finished project, 19 home-grown cornish game hens in the freezer.
Healthy meals for our family of 6.
Adilaide and her style, pink, purple, fancy, princess, fairy, famous star, puppy lover,
I remember doing this as a child with my mom and dad. Memories - Ah!
