    Our Chicken Dream Come True!

    Thank you all for your kind words. I am ELATED to announce that this afternoon, we got our very first egg! I am happy beyond words.

    Oh, thank you so much! Maybe I will! 😊 Yes, we got them from a farm not too far from us. She raises a variety of breeds, including some very fancy ones, and we fell in love with these particular ones. It was a great find!

    Our Chicken Dream Come True!

    At long last, our chicken coop is complete and our new pullets are in their new home! An official name for it is yet to come, but it is truly incredible! I may just have to enter it into the BYC coop contest! We began years ago, entertaining the idea of chickens, but kept it on the back...
