Great! Glad to know there are more Ohioians with chickens!  Lets post pics of our chicks here and stories too.  Not to be outta the main loop but to have our own side loop, ok?!

Do any of you guys sell eggs and what are you charging?  We were charging 1.50 per dozen, 1.25 each for two dozen or more.  Originally, people were looking at us like they thought that was expensive.  Now, people are beginning to ask us for eggs, and they're looking at us like they think that's cheap.  Ohio is notoriously cheap, so what d'ya think?

I am in NW Delaware county, right between Delaware, Marion and Marysville.  I am picking up my 6 chicks tomorrow from Ridgeway Hatchery and the kids and I are excited!  We are first time chicken owners smile

Hi, there.  I'm in Highland Co., OH.  An hour from Cincy, Dayton, Columbus and Portsmouth.  I'm in the process of acquiring my first flock, so no experience or pictures to share - yet!

Cheers!
