    So psyched!

    Cheryl, You're killing me. I also have 5 hens who turned 22 weeks on Monday. We got our first egg on St Patrick's day. We were thrilled beyond reason, really. But we have only had one egg per day since Monday. Does that mean that only one hen is laying? What are those other girls doing...

    Chickens in the Rain??

    Ok, ok, ok, I feel much better. Thanks, everyone. They did seem to stay very fluffy while they were out there. And they were really enjoying whatever it was they were finding in the soaked lawn, so I'll worry no more. If they're happy, I'm happy!

    Scratch...When? How much?

    What the heck is "scratch". Our chicks are only 3 weeks old so they have not had any treats yet, except some hard boiled egg yolk. Sounds like I should know what scratch is and get some for when they are a little older and freezing outside in a coupla months.
