A children’s illustrated story in verse, which tells of the mischievous adventures of Max and Moritz who play pranks on several of the local residents.
This video shows the first two ‘tricks’ they play on Widow Tibbets and her chickens (three hens and a cockerel).
“To most people who have leisure
Raising poultry gives great pleasure:
First, because the eggs they lay us
For the care we take repay us;
Secondly, that now and then
We can dine on roasted hen;
Thirdly, of the hen’s and goose’s
Feathers men make various uses.
Some folks like to rest their heads
In the night on feather beds…”
The full tale, which includes their ultimate demise, can be found here:

A brief documentary of my set-up for raising meat chickens. I raised 12 colored rangers from J.M. Hatchery with this chicken tractor and run. The chicks went into the tractor at age 1.5 weeks, and initially I moved it every couple days. At about 4 weeks old, I started moving it once a day. By 5 weeks old, moving the tractor was not keeping up with the poop, so we added the run that you see here. In the video they are 10 weeks old and due to be harvested in 2 days. All 12 chickens have been very healthy and active. I have had no losses. In the 10 weeks, they ate about 220 pounds of food, and averaged a little under five pounds per bird. Food conversion ratio = 3.8 lbs of feed: 1 lb dressed weight.

I decided to add this film after seeing one on Foster Farms. There is an alternative, it is called raising your own food. It is a sacred way of living, and a revolutionary way of living in this period of history. I encourage all who have the desire to become farmers, gardeners, or raise animals to go for it!!
