It started with just two hens. Oddly enough they seemed to reproduce like rabbits (thanks to homemade incubators and feed stores). I found an awesome website called BackYardChickens.com and with all the helpful info, support and enabling I found there...well, let's just say that chickens are addicting. I tell myself that I'm being more sustainable, growing our own meat and eggs, and don't forget the bugs, mice and leftovers they eat. Plus, there's the poo. It makes excellent compost and you all know how terrible the soil is here in Vegas. The best part is that my pets make me breakfast! Oh yeah, it's all about the eggs! Can I tell you how awesome it is to hunt for Easter Eggs EVERYDAY? Yeah, brown, cream, rose/pinkish-brown, green, blue-green and white...so cool to get a different combo everyday. Oh, and I don't have to worry about that nasty salmonela flavor, either! :)
So, there you have it. I'm in love. No, not puppy love (no offense Maggie) it's chicken love...and, I think, I'm not the only one that's feelin' it!
Now, I just need a few more...
