I got a nice surprise this weekend.

These two girls had been setting on a big ole pile of eggs and I thought they were past due.


I guess not.


















As of today there are six of the little fluff balls. So far all of them have black skin and 5 toes.

OMG so cute I want babys again :{

Does anyone have know where I can find a list of poultry shows near LV?

Does anyone have a 6300 egg turner I can borrow? I don't know about poultry shows but if I hear anything I will post it.

Ok, one question to everyone in Las Vegas: what are your tricks for keeping your chicken cool in the 100+ degree weather? We're almost at that time again (assuming its not going to drop down to 59 again next week!)

Hello Vegas, I was wondering if any family here would let my husband & I come take a look at your coop & pick your brain a little. We want to have chickens, but first want to be prepared! thank you!
