Hello! we have been fortunate enough to have chickens for years! and we love them as pets and use their eggs. Our oldest Hen is Iris, a BIG Barr rock she is 7 years old and her and her girls live in the retirement village pen to live out thier lives and be happy.
We have wellsummers and silkies and are getting some easter eggers soon. So excited to have the different colored eggs. two years ago we decided to get 6 white girls to have some steady egg production. That blew up in our face!! I had an uneasy feeling to get some back ups and I m glad we did because ALL SIX white leghorns turned out to be ROOSTERS!!! what a surprise. I am glad to join here since I seek ideas and information to keep our chicks happy (and the boys also :}
