    Hard Questions For Me

    Well EggSighted4Life sell the eggs came as a second idea for the family. We got the chickens in the first place because the eggs in the grocery stores were so disgusting we could not eat them.

    Hello All

    Hello to all. I have been tending to the same same flock that I started with about 4 years ago, and have found a joy in raising chickens. When I started tending to my chickens I had 20 hens, I currently have 4 left from this flock. I have red sexlink hens. I really enjoy watching my chickens...
