It's FREEZING outside so I'm sitting by the woodstove planning happily for warmer days
chicken plans include 2-3 layers for the summer - may the fates conspire to make that work as well as it has the last 2 summers (with a LOT of help from my friends - you know who you are )
and Tom really really wants to do meat chicks this year - I have about 8 weeks at our summer residence (July and August) if I get meat chickens in June and keep them in the city for a couple of weeks will that work? or am I better to wait til July and only have them 8 weeks? or have someone come and check them daily for a couple of weeks in Sept?
I missed the ordering window last year and despite a verbal agreement to get chicks in July the plans fell apart so I'd like to do it more formally
ANY feedback very much appreciated
