Total chicken and egg envy.! I live where it is frowned upon. There are those who have chickens, I can hear them, but the town told me NO!
What kind of chickens are you getting? I was the 4-H chicken leader when the kids were little and we lived on a farm. I still like Transylvania Naked Necks. They are so ugly. But they live to be very old...maybe up to 10 and still lay. Check Murry McMurry for odd breeds. Another name for them is Turken, but they are not turkeys. Marcia
