Which Came First... The Chicken or The Egg?

February 13, 2011 our chickens hatched.

I have wanted chickens for years and have saved loads of egg cartons for the day. This year my boys and I just happened to go to the feed store on February 14, the day the baby chicks arrived. They were one day old and it was love at first sight. We were mesmerized. I promised the boys that we would go home, prepare a place and come back to get them the next week. So we did.

This blog is our chicken story and a look at "The Good", "The Bad", and "The Ugly"of what we have learned through this wonderful adventure of raising backyard chickens.

I hope we can inspire you to raise your own backyard chickens or purchase your "Eggs" from those who do so that we collectively can decrease the demand and put an end to "The Ugly" in the chicken industry.

Thanks for reading, Dorothy

Pullets in Their 1st Coop

 Pullets are hens who have not begun to lay eggs. These picture show my girls enjoying the outdoors. I can count eight hens in this photo but there are a total of nine. The one up front looks like Goldie.
