6 Top Chickens to explore
Thinkin' 'bout Chickens...
Chickens have come up several times, lately, as noted below. Just could not resist the opportunity to do an article about Chickens.
First, my early days and chickens. Then, my good friend at StateoftheOzarks.net magazines writes about Chickens.
Finally, there are already some good articles of Chickens, of different kinds. What more could I ask. Come take a look! ;-)

Billie leads the chickens
Chickens and I started very early on... Here I am, less than three years old, leading the chickens on our Iowa farm!
I did gather a lot of eggs as a youth. The brooder house is in the back of the photo where the young chicks were started out.
Just to the right of the photo is the Hen House, where the mature Hens laid their eggs. It was BIG! ;-)
I was an excellent student, in high school, and some of my classmates enjoyed 'putting me down' - so, as part of the "Class Prophesy" my class mates predicted, in 20 years, I would have a large chicken farm. I didn't plan to be a farmer - I was headed for a science degree at the State University. The funny thing was, in 30 years, thanks to Tyson, etc., being a BIG chicken farmer was a very desirable career, in my hometown! ;-)
Rescue Chicken links - Thanks to my friend, Ginger, for the suggestion!
I had heard of 'rescue dogs' but had not heard of 'rescue chickens' until my friend, Ginger, brought it to my attention.
This appears to be a very important topic, so I am pleased to add it to this lens.
Leave your comments on 'rescue chickens' below. I look forward to them.

"We launched our hen rescue after collecting 6 hens to keep as pets from a local farm. The horrendous smell and deafening noise of thousands of hens crammed together was stomach churning and the balding feather-pecked hens were in such a sorry state
