I remember when my family and I went to Lucedale to pick up some chicks to start raising chickens.
We got them at J & B Feed. They were in a cardboard box when we got them. There were 9 hens for each breed and 2 roosters for each breed, they gave us an extra chick in case 1 died which none did, and there were 21 chickens in all.
We cut the bottom of a water bottle off so the chickens could have a drink; we also used a water bottle lid. One of the roosters kept tipping their water over, we called him stupid rooster. There was a hen that just slumped in a corner it wouldn’t drink water it just sat in its corner, the other chickens picked on her. So we got her out of the box, and nursed it back to health. I sat in the back of the car along with Anna and Luke. We played with them all the way home.
