The Fable of the Amateur Poultry Rais er
A man obsessed with eating chicken tries to raise his own flock. He spends eleven dollars on wire, ten on lumber, and six on a used incubator. Only twenty five chicks hatch, then losses mount from theft, dogs, and accidents. Nine birds reach the table at a cost of four dollars fifty cents each plus time and quarrels. The moral: the farm is the place to do your farming.
