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

Girls Sunning

Yesterday was a beautiful day and my little ladies spent most of the day out. I kept the windows open and we were in and out keeping an eye on them. They had a wonderful time and it makes me feel so happy to see them this way.

At one point in the day I went and laid in the grass by where they were scratching. Mabel and Linda came and laid beside me, stretched out their leg and raised their wing like chickens do when they are sun themselves, and there we lay sunning ourselves together... Priceless.
