Awesome ideas on this site, thanks. I honestly took the plunge and got me some chickens last week! Now I have more eggs than I know what to do with!. You might like these egg recipes.

I personally think they are sort of addictive.

I meant to add one more thing about the chicks. Hubby says it has to be temporary; the family we’re getting them from said they will take them back when they’re grown. But hubby is an animal lover, and I think he’ll change his mind about the chicks over the next few weeks. If not, it’ll be fun while it lasts!

I wanted to let you know that you helped me to sell my husband on getting chickens! Tomorrow we’re going to pick up 4 chicks (one week old) from a family in our church who acquired too many and are looking for homes for them. I don’t know much other than they are some kind of “reds” and are “straight-run”. I’m headed to the feed store in the AM to get our supplies and then we’ll pick them up tomorrow evening. Thanks again for the great posts!

We ordered 25 chicks, straight run, three different breeds last summer. (15 RI Reds, 5 Delawares, 5 Dominiques). Only 1 Red didn’t survive the shipping, but we were ok with that.

Out of 24 chickens, you’d think we would’ve had at least a few males, right? Well, guess what….we have NO males at all. It’s a little amusing for us (since we have more boys than girls on our farm anyway!), but now we’ve got to get more chickens so we can breed. Oh well, it’s all a learning experience!

I’ve been interested for a long time, but not sure our “fussy subdivision” allows them; doubtful. Even if it did it’s doubtful it’d go over well, & dh isn’t real supportive (& we aren’t moving – unfortunately!). For now I have to enjoy reading about them.
