<br />
In an attempt to start living off the grid a bit more, I&#039;ll be getting my first flock of chickens arriving Wednesday. The play all along at our house was to set up a coop in the backyard and use the eggs for our B&amp;B. With all this going on and the run on grocery stores, etc. we decided to up the time frame and start the flock this year. <br />

The WDT is not the place to discuss/debate controversial topics and its unfair to the posters who would rather engage in a more light-hearted and jovial discussion.<br />

We agree. However, we dont want to turn off or ignore those who do want to engage in serious discussion either. So starting...<br />
