It's been about 6 years since My husband and I had Chickens.. After what we called "The Great Chicken Massacure of 2007" Pack of wild dogs broke into our 3 chicken pens and killed about 30 pet chickens. We needed a break.. We bought a new home and have two beautiful children 3yr old, and one 10 months. Our entire Property is fenced and we are in the process of finishing up a very very secure chicken enclosure, We plan to let them free range when we are home, but are building the chicken enclosure big enough so if that doesn't' work out we can keep them safe in there barn/run area. We have 4 EE chicks about a week old, and 5 Silkie eggs in our incubator due to hatch out today! Our 3 year old is so excited about the eggs we have a little chart with the development pictures day 1-21.. each day he goes and makes a star by the day.. Today he is running around saying" Last day, Day 21.. come out of your eggs now" lol We hear one peeping away and see a pip hole
