Today marks the beginning of the Kromenacker backyard chicken revolution. We brought home 5 pullets (young hens). We think they are about 2 months old. They have their own chicken yard in the back, and a coop we built from salvaged materials. We got 2 Americaunas (b/c they lay blue-green eggs!), 2 Rhode Island Reds, and 1 Barred Rock. Our eggs will be organic, b/c we feed them organic food and don't use any chemicals in the coop. The girls won't start laying however for another 3 months. We wanted to get them young so that they will be used to us handling them and know us. This is a major achievement and an exciting goal being met that is one of the benefits of having settled in one place for a while. Hooray!!!
