In the Brooder
Never had any interest in chickens...until my hubby and I purchased a new home in September 2014 and the previous owner left the chickens as part of the "closing deal". I wasn't thrilled but my husband wanted them. So some of the chickens laid blue eggs and my curiosity peaked...started collecting the eggs couple if time a day. Started reading about chickens and chicken care. Really enjoyed the bug free surroundings. Then...Roxie..the chicken that layed the most beautiful blue egg died..started trying to figure out why...still haven't. I purchased several Ameraucana chickens for the beautiful blue eggs. All faired well over the winter. On good Friday...I arrived home to dead chickens everywhere and a horribly beaten rooster. 12 dead in all...and the roo a few weeks later. I have started replacing and researching and now I'm hooked...Filled my brand new incubator last night with 42 Catskill Homesteaders ....Here we go...
