Hello,
My neighbors house is getting foreclosed on and they have given me 4 of their OEG chickens. I currently have 6 chickens that free range, and roost in a coop at night. I have kept the 4 new guys locked up for over a week, and the second I let them out - they run back next door. Any...
Good luck to you all that are patiently waiting!!

I'll take pics when I get home - they are SO cute!!
Thanks,

Two eggs left - we'll see what happens today. I will post pics when I get home from work this evening.
Thanks everyone!!
