Hi all!
figured i have been lurking long enough, may as well join up. Just a little about me.
Living in southern Maine, nice little town. Built my house about 10 years ago, sort of in the middle of town, but also in the middle of the woods. Kinda the best of both worlds. Well....we have a tick problem here. And I thought that a few chickens may be just what I need to help with that. Plus you all know the whole egg thing is kind of nice. I've bought fresh eggs from a guy that used to work for me years ago, and they were the best ever. So here I am with (6) 4 week old Buff Orpingtons (as advised from the lady at the Agway) living in my garage for a couple more weeks. I also have a 4 year old Black Lab female that thinks these things are new play toys. Still working on trying to overcome years of breeding and instinct. We'll see how that goes.
Well that's it for now, I will go lurk some more, and maybe poke my nose into a couple threads here and there.
Jim
