Ronald Mvula Dear/Madam.
Do you offer long distance courses on how to breed or keep chicken either backyard (free range ) or hybrid? Or rather do you sell books on how to keep chicken?

nancy przymus I grew up on a farm and raised chickens for exhibition in 4-H. One never realizes just how much one learns in childhood until you read something like these stories. Apparently eggs are a mystery for many people and the the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg is not a joke in some circles. 2/3/2008
