Although we wanted chickens since buying a larger piece of property three years ago, we finally jumped in this year. We bought 6 pullets and have spent a fortune on those six girls. We've learned a lot (they can really escape, they are always hungry, the poop ALOT, and they really attract flies - oh, the flies), but we enjoy them and find a lot of relaxing enjoyment comes from watching them peck around the yard. We got our first egg today (girl is 17 weeks, one day according to the place we bought them from). I've learned a lot from this forum and enjoy reading about raising chickens.
