Hi everyone! Just ordered my first chicks today. They should be here in 2 weeks. I ordered 10 Rhode Island Reds. I think they will be an awesome compliment to my 10 bee hives and apple orchard. I've been reading alot of posts here and getting great ideas from you all. Look forward to learning more and sharing my experiences.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?
