    A first!

    Today was the first day all four of my pullets laid an egg! The two cuckoo marans just recently started laying, but they each laid one every other day. Today one of them laid one two days in a row, so we got four eggs! Woots!!!! For some reason, I can't upload a picture of them! I've always...

    BOO HOO! My pullets don't say "Peep" any more!

    I sort of miss the cheerful sounding "peep peep" when I go out my back door. Instead I hear various clucking. My four pullets are growing up! We've been introducing new treats to them. At first they walk up to something new and taste it, then quickly throw it down and run away. Then one of...

    Hi!

    I'm another newbie here. I'm thinking about starting to raise chickens. I'd only want to start with two. Hubby is about to retire in a month or two and will move back up here to Horse Cave, KY. I'm living on the edge of town now, but we also have 22 acres of woods only a mile from here. We...
