    Having a blast with our girls

    My wife and I had discussed getting chickens for a couple of years, and just this Spring decided to jump in! We got 6 birds started in our basement while I built a coop in the yard. Who would have thought that we would love having these girls around? Two weeks ago we started getting eggs, and...
