Hello!
We have been on our chicken raising adventure since our little box of peeps arrives on May 16, 2011. We have 11 Buff Orpington hens, and one loud and proud White Leghorn rooster! Our ladies just started laying at the end of October, and I was on here today since they are laying ALL OVER THE PLACE, but not in their lovely, well-appointed nesting boxes! We even found 2 out in the run!
We wanted chickens for the best eggs possible of course! Our kids love it too, and that was a big part of it.
Building the coop was a bigger project than we anticipated, but we are really pleased with the results. Now I have to get my hubby to stop calculating the cost of the coop per egg till we have gotten a few hundred of them at least!
I am so tankful for this fantastic resource, and have been on here many times already getting information and answers. Thanks for all the help already!!
