LOL... We would start 100 baby chicks each spring, when the hens acted like they wanted to set and hatch the eggs. We never let roosters get old enough to fertilize the eggs, so we just kept picking and eating the eggs. It takes a couple months to identify the roosters from the hens after starting the batch of chicks. The rooster became fryers, all summer long, while the hens became layers. By fall, we had no roosters left and that was the end of our fried chicken dinners. Through the winter, we would butcher some of the older hens (we put a ring on their leg to identify the oldest ones). Those became "stewers", and I want to tell you, those were incredible winter meals. Mom would make home made noodles and we'd milk all the egg yokes from those old hens and put it in with the stew. My brother and I would argue over those yokes (imagine the cholesterol). By spring, we would be nearly out of hens, except for those who wanted to "set". We always kept about 1/2 dozen of them to place the new chicks under. That was another ordeal that most folks don't know about. To be continued....
