HOW I GOT INTO CHICKENS:

DH had this idea, that we should have fresh eggs. I kept saying no, not sure. Well after some weeks I finally gave in, and we bought our babies March 09 at

3 days of age. Believe it or not, we kept them in our spare bathroom, how bad could it be, they were little.

They sure grew quick!!! So we had what we call Trash fencing, which is after

Hurricane Ike hit us in Sept. 08 we collected around town and saved, decided to put it to some use and made a coop and used a dog kennel that we weren't using.

So out the babies went, and that was the start of ......

THE CHICKEN ADDICTION

Now I have a Main Coop, an Emergency coop, and Another Mini new coop. And the Maddness continues, Im

HOOKED!!

I  guess it didn't help that I ended up with some Gorgeous Hens and a Handsome Roo!!

Ok I have to figure out the HTML for this page to add pictures and such....

Thanks for stopping in
