my four are doing very nicely in my pantry (still) and awaiting delivery of my coop this week. i think i will miss them when they are finally moved outside.
I can relate, we planned on a 4 chicken max and already have 5 and contemplating adding one more hen to the mix.
I'm the novelty farm girl stuck in the city among my family and friends! While they like shopping at the mall, I'd much prefer to be tending to the horses/chickens and doing my yardwork/gardening. They didn't believe me when I informed everyone that I'd like a new rototiller for Christmas!
I'm sure they won't be complaining my rural ways when they are munching on fresh eggs and vegetables!
