If you do decide to get into chickens, be VERY careful!!!

VERY, VERY!

They are extremely addictive...but oh, how wonderful those fresh eggs are. Round out your egg basket...get light/med/dark brown egg layers, as well as "Easter Eggers" and tinted layers, and a couple of white egg layers to boot.

We started with Cochins, Turkens & Silkies, and now have Ameraucanas, Australorps, Brahmas (light & dark), Barnvelders, D'Uccles, Faverolles, Hollands, Sussex, Sebrights & Wyandottes as well. (I think that's everyone?!?!?!?)

And remember this, above all else...Silkies are minions of the devil, no matter how cute & innocent they appear to be.

PERIOD!
