Last Spring Laurie and I decided to get chickens for our backyard. We bought a small coop and two bantam hens. They were awesome! They laid a ton of eggs, albeit small ones, and they were a lot of fun to watch. Then sadly one was eaten by the neighbor's dog and the other one sunk into complete depression so we had to give her away.
After a long, cold winter, we're ready to do the chicken thing again. This time we're going to get baby chicks and raise them ourselves. Yesterday we went to Callahan's Feed Store in Austin to look at them, but unfortunately they were out of the breeds we were interested in. Luckily though they are getting a shipment in today, so we should have the picks of the litters tonight.
Hopefully we'll be bringing home 4 little ladies tonight. I'll be documenting their upbringing, so be sure to check back daily for updates!
