Cluck-Addict here.....
I've always wanted chickens. After 18 months of begging, pleading and stealthy convincing my husband agreed. Afterall, this city girl gone country finally had the chance to have some chickens.

I ordered 35, no wait, I added more to the order.....49 chicks from McMurrays. 25 were straight run heavys for the hubby to butcher. Needless to say, food was my barganing chip. MMM actually ended up shipping us 56.

They arrived the same day they were hatched and I'm in LOVE!!!!

We have only lost two. Dear Hubby finally told me he found them and disposed of them so I didn't have to be bummed out.

Today is the end of week 1. I'm hooked. I already want more....Geez.
