The Chicken Farm

The Chicken Farm 

Middlebrook, VA
April, 2015
"Why did you buy chickens?" I asked him over the loud cackling sounds of chickens, a rooster and 8 Guinea fowl birds.  The chickens were in a coop but the Guinea fowls were running sporadicly under foot.

"Because I want to become as self sufficient as I can be.  Then there is no food available in this country, I want to make sure I can feed my family.  We aren't going to go hungry."

"And why did you buy the Guinea fowl birds? Do they lay eggs too?"

"No, I just like them. And they eat our mosquitos."
