I am 38 with a wife and 2 boys. One 16 and one 13. Kind of new to farming. We have about 50 Black Austrolorp chickens, 9 champagne rabbits, a small fruit garden and working on my aquaponics system. |

Thanks, I like to jump in, usually without looking which isn't allways good. But everything is coming together. We hatched about 40 chicks in the last 2 weeks, some with the hens, and others in a incubator. Also put some duck and goose eggs in the incubator a couple days ago. So hopefully in a month we will have ducks and geese. |

They are for both. Been selling some chickens lately, but the rabbits are just getting started. The rabbits are also for the kids to bring to the 4-H fair. Thanks |
