Chickens are a lot like people
We know spring is coming even if the weather isn’t cooperating because the chickens are laying eggs like crazy! We currently house about 40 chickens here at Goebel Hill Farm. Truly….we house them. The chickens are spoiled. From the day they hatch until the day they die of old age, we provide them with room, board and protection. A few of the ladies are over nine years old! In return for the housing, the chickens give us eggs, fertilizer and entertainment. Our first 25 chicks came in the mail from the good people at Sand Hill Preservation Center in Calamus, Iowa. Sand Hill’s mission is “genetic preservation of the diversity of this planet we all call home”. We are all in with that at Goebel Hill Farm.
