Plan No. 721. Girl Makes $98 from Nine Hatches
Little girls who have to help themselves to go through high school can often accomplish it by raising chickens.
A little girl in Orange County, Virginia, borrowed money to buy nine settings of eggs. On this venture her first year’s work netted a profit of $98, and she has three roosters left.
There is no reason why your little girl should not have a few chickens and help swell the family income.
