We wanted to start off with 3 chicks and the feed store lady talked my wife into getting 4 in case one didn't "make" it. Well, Ricky being a roo doesn't make it either. Eggs are priority one and Ricky has other priorities. His crowing sounds very cool, but every time he lets loose his "good...

Gloria's Gang : Sorry I haven't been here in a while. More busy with soccer games, etc than I wish to be. Good news! We FINALLY got our first egg! Then a couple days later someone else layed an egg. The interesting thing is the first one was medium sized and pointed. We have got a few of...
