Hello from Scranton PA. My wife and I started living a more health lifestyle a few years back and started growing, hunting and canning most of our own food so naturally fresh eggs were the logical next step. 'The girls" (as my wife calls them) consist of our original 6 white pullets (we think they are white leghorns) which are about 6 weeks old now and another 6 that are now around 3 weeks old (2 reds and 4 whites). We're loving having them and find them a lot of fun. Right now the 6 big girls are living in a x lg dog cage and the 6 little girls are in a large rabbit cage until I can build a coop for them in the next few days. It's so funny how they press them selves up against the cage to be pet or beg to come out to see us or hang out with our 2 large dogs that try to cuddle and mother them. If we walk past their room they call to us to come see them and get rather upset if we don't.
