thanks for the welcome! My sister in law lives in Zeeland Michigan. We will be doing a big driving tour through there in September. We plan to drive back the upper route, below Canada - not sure exact route yet, but I've never done a road trip across the country before - looking forward to it!

Hi! We are new chicken owners as well 2 weeks now, and are glad to see some Monterey people have chickens! My son loves his two hens, Cheeky and Squeeky, both Plymouth Rocks. We are just starting to see the white zebra like stripe pop through what used to be solid black feathers! What personalities, I have to say! Cheeky fits her name well and wears it with pride! I can't wait until August when we have eggs! Take care!
