Matthew and his friend Ledger decided to start a chicken business this year and they are learning all the things about both meat and egg chickens. They are also learning invaluable lessons about business, having a business partner and how to keep track of income/expenses. I’m super proud of them for all of their hard work cleaning out this old coop and fixing it up to be safe for the chickens and all of the research they’ve done to figure this out. Matthew spends every day at that coop, more than once a day and he will just go and sit in there with the chickens. The one he’s holding in his hand, he just puts his hand on the grand and it will come straight to him and let him pick it up like that.
The moment he brought home his first egg that his chickens hatched was so exciting, he totally wasn’t expecting it that soon and it was such a surprise. The unexpected emotions I felt completely took me by surprise too…..almost as if I just became a grandma. 😂
(Also, the pic of the multi colored chicken….they caught that at an abandoned house) 🤣
His 16th summer is certainly going to be full of life long memories.
