Hi all,

After wanting chickens for 20 years we finally got some a few months ago. We have purebred Wheaten and Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas, a Golden Laced Wyandotte and a Buff Orpington and are thinking of adding Welsummers and/or Marans. We got them for eggs, fertilizer, bug control, lawn ornaments, and pets. It is funny how many people say, "You have chickens!" (with a disgusted look on their face) and then end up sitting next the coop fascinated by their antics.

Yeah, next thing they'll be begging you for eggs! And then they'll want their own chickens...

They are supposed to be old enough to lay soon so we are getting excited.
