Wow, that’s reassuring! I will need to ask around more. My kids don’t want me to give up my girls and I don’t either.I found a friend of a friend in Maryland who was willing, but ended up keeping them in my school's garden/park. I had to build a run, but it worked out well -- I was able to see them and care for them, the kids liked them, and the garden manager got eggs. I also let them out for an hour or so daily to eat the bugs.
