Congrats! I absolutely love chickens, very soothing, and excellent source of food.

Fresh eggs DO taste different, personally, I think way better. Factory-Farmed eggs are so bland and blah to me. But that's just my opinion, I know alot of people are turned off of the fresh eggs, and they can take getting used to.

Do you plan on butchering the cornish? Be aware, these have a bad habit of keeling over dead, as they're bred to grow freakishly fast for butchering, and often don't live long past that time. I've had some prove me wrong, but its something to be aware of.

Terrible picture, but here is my Rhode Island Red rooster and his favorite hen, a Barred Rock. (This combination creates the Black Sex Link if I remember correctly.)



Enjoy, and I'll want to see pictures in the Farm Animals section!
