Can I come help with the chickens? Brian won't let us get one right now, and he is probably right, as we are away too much. I had the best pet chicken, hatched in 4th grade embryology, and she lay 2 eggs a day, followed us around, and was just a wonderful pet. Stood on my head! I think that because we only had one, she was really clean. She had a daytime pen behind our garage, but roamed the backyard in CT all day when we were there. At night, she had a pen in the garage. My folks forgot to put her in the garage one night before going out and when they came home, a racoon had gotten to her. She didn't make it, sadly, but I still fondly recall this experience as a very wonderful one. Our friends in Canada have chickens, and Fairfax Fresh Farm in Fairfax... lots of people to consult if you have questions... I can give you their info. Have fun! Hi M,
