HI!! I have the same problem with my garden and Fish tanks.
Have always wanted Chickens and last year just did it! I love my chickys and everyone around me thinks I am crazy!
I also love the Auracana's and I picked up one 2 weeks ago that we call OWL..cause that is just what she looks like and owl with a longer beak...goofy little birds..cant wait to see what she grows up into. Also just went back to the feed store and picked up a Buff and a Gold Sex link...I have to stay out of the feed store now for awhile
