hi i am a chicken addict i think

hi yall,

long time lurker/learner here... this year back in june something came over me and i wasn't myself... went out and got five day-old chicks from a feed store... long story short, wifey still don't approve but its all history now (i hope)... now i am just waiting for my 5 pullets to start laying ...ok i gotta get back to work... later

 

thanks yall for the warm welcome!

ill eventually learn my way around here... what's the weather like where yall are?... it's sunny n nice here is orange county california! i forgot to introduce my super backyard flock of 5... puff orp, brown leghorn, RIR, cuckoo marans and EE

 

Quote:thanks! i really really hope so too... she brings it up everytime when she's "cranky" and talks about my priorities (... i know the way i went about getting chicken was a bit on the shady side but what i can i say... i like chickens... i sorta pop the chicken question while she was falling asleep and she said "yeah" ...seemed like a great idea at the time)

i got my day-old pullets in mid june... so from what i have read on BYC they should be laying real soon right? i better get those nest boxes in fast... wish me luck
