I am going whole hog with this farm thing; I'm fixin' to get me some chickens. Not just your average KFC- bound birds, but funky chickens like the Silver Polish which had to be the inspiration for some of Dr. Suess's characters, or Black Cochins which sport feathery wide-legged gangstah wear, or the bouffanted Sultans. And how could I not order a Silver Gray Dorking.
Trouble is, I don't know a thing about chickenry. Being ignorant has not stopped me from engaging in other bird-brained ideas, mind you, but since I don't want to turn my livestock into deadstock, I've got a couple of books on order to help me bone up. Oh, and I'm studying that I Love Lucy chick-wrangling episode. One wacky redhead helping another...
