I have missed having chickens and especially fresh eggs since our chickens went the way of the earth in December. The feed store finally had chicks so we can get started again and will have eggs by the end of the summer. I love having chickens because they are so easy and I love the life lessons it teaches the kids. We got two barred rocks, and 3 that are a cross between rhode island reds and barred rocks.
LaurieAnn is definitely the animal lover of the family. She is so smothering--I mean loving-- that animals have a hard time breathing. Here she is abusing holding one of the chicks.
