I love chickens! We had chickens throughout my childhood. I love fresh eggs. I don’t know about the breeds you have there, except the Buff. She should be a good layer. The best are Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, and White Leghorns. I wish I could have chickens, but Paul puts a firm foot down every time I mention it. :-/

Way to go! We love our chickens and so do our Granddaughters. We’ll follow Maggie’s venture with much interest (and much amusement no doubt:))

LOVE the chickens. I, too, fantasize about having chickens. But we always thought the coyotes would find a way around fencing at the ranch. And, now? Yikes. Urban chickens.

What fun! I was just reading an article about raising chickens in the city and it made me want to try it. Now I want to even more. Plus I want to read Kingsolver’s book. What happens to the chickens when you go on vacation, though?

Love Dotter’s note. The kindergartners at our school incubated chicks and then took them to a farm, that is until this year when the school system decided that it wasn’t a good idea anymore. It’s one of those milestones that my younger daughter won’t experience. I mourn, but not enough to put a coup in our garage. Looking forward to watching your chickens grow.

Oh man, do I ever miss our chickens. Even more than the ‘pacas. (Sigh.) I’m jealous!

Aaaaahhhh! You did it! Chickens! Oh, I can’t wait to read all about this… I plan on getting chicks next spring, so I want to know all the trials and tribulations.

Ok-I’ve been ignoring the chicken craze for a couple of months-first in the blogosphere, and then when a group of neighborhood moms decided they were all getting chickens. All I could think of was how my former mil used to scream about cleaning up after the chickens-city girl who married a farmer.
But, when you put it that way-I can totally see S getting into having chickens-and that would be so fun.
Of course, living with a ranch boy, I probably can’t sell the idea of city chickens to him… ~lmc
