I have been glued to these forums since last winter when I decided to order three (3!) brown chickens from the local co-op. Well, then I visited TSC and my son and I came home with six more. Then I needed other kinds, you know, a silkie, a black sexlink, a black giant cochin and a wyandotte........which was fine for a while, but then I needed colored eggs, hence the addition of 8 EE chicks........all of this because of your enthusiasm and support! Now i am a happy chicken farmer gal, and my son loves the birdies, too.
Yesterday, I took two of my birds to his school to teach part one of a four part class on poultry. the kids had a ball, I had a ball and most everything I learned, I learned right here!
Thanks and I will keep reading--I have learned so much from all of you. I am getting 7-9 eggs per day from my big birds. My EE's are still just babies.....
