I've been on a quest for healthy food options, and one of the best way to control your food intake is to control where it comes from. <BR/><BR/>Now I'm just crazy for talkative birds that leave me a daily gift.<BR/><BR/>I eat eggs (and sell some). I haven't ate one of my hens yet, but I've bought farm raised chicken from a local natural farmer. We'll see how the whole raising for meat venture goes.<BR/><BR/>It's my first go at raising chicks. They will stay in the main house their first couple weeks. Then I'll graduate them to the garage. I have a small coop house set up for them to go in as they get bigger and can start to handle the outdoor temps.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161967996164905671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-45126915288315295202009-03-30T11:08:00.000-04:002009-03-30T11:08:00.000-04:00Thanks for including these cute pictures, Becky. ...Thanks for including these cute pictures, Becky.

It was in my oven, though, and now I feel really bad because I'll bet baby turkeys are just as cute as baby chickens.<BR/><BR/>How long do they stay in your house?Janet Spaethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495937200749703773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-67621736657261409182009-03-28T22:11:00.000-04:002009-03-28T22:11:00.000-04:00Why do you have chickens?And why did it cross the ...Why do you have chickens?<BR/><BR/>And why did it cross the road? ;-)Elizabeth Ludwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056509500051387657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157905786947425443.post-20720961866709036002009-03-28T10:53:00.000-04:002009-03-28T10:53:00.000-04:00Becky, Your chicks are so cute.
