I was SO excited this morning!!! I got my first egg!!! And you know, when you tell someone who knows nothing about chickens short of the grocery store, they just look at you and wonder what on earth is wrong with you!! Despite the 100+ temps this last week which cooled down to about 94 today, one of my hens came though!! This is my first flock and ever since I was 5 years old I wanted chickens and this year it happened (I'm 40+ years old now)!!!!
Way to go! I know the look you get...I get it all the time...Of course, everyone KNOWS I am the "crazy chicken lady" LOL
I think we need to start a club "the crazy chicken ladies". I get the same thing from my friends. You know I think they get tired hearing about my babies but when I don't say anything about them they ask me how they are. I grew up with chickens too and here I am 50 and starting over with them.
