We moved to Glendale, Kentucky (south of Ft. Knox) about six months ago, and live on a wonderful 4 acres of land out in the middle of nowhere.
As it's something my wife has wanted to do forever, we bought 11 Plymouth Barred Rock pullets in August, and they finally started to lay eggs several weeks ago. They're quite productive, as we ended up with 40 eggs last week. We let them free range throughout our property all day, and they roost in a smallish barn at night, which is also where they lay.
They're incredibly fun to feed our scraps to, and talk, and listen to, and our 6-year-old son loves to hear their egg song throughout the day.
We've really enjoyed the information on these forums, and I look forward to talking more with you all.
Matt
