Hello fellow chicken farmers,

 

I just signed up as a new member today, the 1st of August 2012.   I  simply LOVE chickens!   They are so fascinating to watch and to listen to.  Their anger sounds always makes me chuckle. (They sound so irritated.  Haha  barnie.gif

 

I am looking forward to meeting you and reading and hearing of your stories and experiences you've had with your chickens.

 

Right now I am also interested in building my own treadle chicken feeder, unless anyone knows someone who makes some really good quality ones and has them for sale but does not charge an arm and a leg like Grandpas ones.  If anyone knows of any please contact me.

 

Thanks,

 

Henny Penny07
