How eggciting!!!

The story came out in the print version (July 12) that arrived in our mailbox.

Unfortunately the whole article isn't online:

OH NO!!! The article uses the BYC domain name WITHOUT the "s" UGH!!!!

Oh well... hopefully peeps will still be able to fine their way here.

My favorite part of the article: "Welcome to the Northeast Regional Chickenstock in New Tripoli, PA., where members of BYC - a sort of Facebook for chicken owners- have come to trade eggs and buy chicks."

Can't wait to see whole article.
From the pictures:
"Gretchen Bare, right, an artist from Hollywood, Md., who specializes in breeding Polish and silkie roosters."

Gretchen breeds roosters. LOL That must be quite a job, getting the roosters to breed.
So what do you do with all the extra pullets Gretchen? I'll take them

The video is up on Time, had to search "chicken" as it didn't show up on the linked page. Here's the link to it http://www.time.com/time/video/player/0,32068,106518074001_2001667,00.html
