I thought I would post some pics of our girls. I'm a first-timer with 8 RSL and they seem to be thriving. So how do they look?

Awesome!!! Very pretty birds!

A friend told me I was delusional. I almost fell off my unicorn.

I smile because I have no idea what's going on. :D

When life gives you lemons, turn around and squeeze 'em back in life's eyes.

My room is not messy, I simply have everything on display for everyone to see. Like a museum.

They are just lovely! And look very happy, too. You are obviously doing just fine!

Happiness is not having what you want; it's wanting what you have......author unknown (to me).

I LOVE my chickens!

They're just bursting with health and happiness :) Great job!

Whoever said don't count your chickens before they're hatched clearly never tried to count chickens after they're hatched.
