To bawk or not to bawk, that is the question at our house right now. In a few weeks baby chicks will be invading the local seed and feed stores. Fluffy yellow armies of chickens are preparing for battle and my defenses are weak. I really want to grow me some chickens this year. I checked in with the feed store a while back to ask about acquiring chicks and the nice chick man encouraged me to arrive early and often because this year is a chick year, everybody wants some. It seems we’re not alone in our plans to start growing our own food and foul. I have been laid off for a while now and there is a fear in the back of my mind regarding what we’ll do about food if things get tight.
