Thank you! I am still looking at the types of chickens I would like. My neighbors started out with white chickens but I have no idea what they are. They acquired some red and brown hens when the roosters started crowing. I am anxious to see how they weather out northern temps this winter. The neighbor's hubby built a splendid coop and my darling promises a coop is on his list for spring.
I was talking chickens before they had any. Hubby thinks he is doomed. LOL!
