For as long as I have wanted land, I have wanted chickens. There is just something about super fresh eggs! Well my husband came home a few weeks back and said that I needed to visit our local Ace store because they had baby chicks! So we went, and went back and then shopped other stores. My kids were just as convinced they needed them too as I was! I have never had chicken and really didn't know the first thing about them! So I told the kids that if they really wanted to do this chicken thing...they would have to first get to know everything they could about them! In the process, I too was absorbing everything I could! After we learned everything we could....we finally caved and brought the first 5 chickens home!
Welcome to the Park Family.....we are still working on names! I think I have convinced the family to go with chocolate names!
We got two types so far but will have three before we are all done! We even got Easter Eggers! They lay green and blue pastel eggs on a normal basis and can even lay brown, white and pink ones too!
One of the most helpful sites that I found was My Pet Chicken!!!!
We have also decided to make this a business for the kiddos! They have to figure out the money part and how to advertise the eggs! Since we will not have eggs for about 5 months...I haven't pushed this too much however, just when school starts up again, it will be time!
I hope you follow us on our adventures of rasing chickens!
