Farm fresh eggs are the best!
Do you have a local feed store? At ours, they have a yearly "chick day", when you buy a sack of feed and get so many biddies for free. Or you can order whatever kinds of chickens and roosters you want from there.
I can hear DD's new rooster crowing right now. He's white with feathers on his feet. The other one I'm going to ask if my son can have is red. They're just going to butcher them, I think, so I may save his life!
I dont know if we have a local feed store or not and I dont have a yellow pages so I am going to look it up online and see.
I talked to my grandma. She used to keep chickens, she told me to get the Rhode Island Red or to get the Banty chickens cause they are small and lay small eggs if space is a concern for me.
