The Dixie Chicks

   Here is the story of how I roped my husband into getting me chickens.  I 

   was born in Montana, and I suppose ranching and farming are in my blood.

   But I married a boy from New York, and we now live in a subdivision in

   North Carolina that's not really a large livestock kinda place.  So,  after

   months of my begging and pleading, he finally  decided that a few chickens

   couldn't be THAT much trouble!  Especially since our good friend, who is a

   carpenter by trade, offered to donate a bunch of scrap materials.  So began

   our little project.  We broke ground in early spring, and finished in late

   October, $500 buckaroos later!  So much for easy - or cheap! But now that

   it's all done, we are really enjoying our 3 sweet little hens and

   beautiful brown eggs every morning.  And heck, maybe next year i'll

   convince him into letting me have a little brown jersey  cow :)
