Chicken little..........

Just ordered three Silver Wyandotte and three Easter Egger chicks which will arrive on May 31st. A friend of my son's is building a triangular chicken ark coop with a run for me, based on one I saw online. I used to raise White Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds and sold the eggs to the neighbors growing up on my parents farm. I am really looking forward to raising the chickens and getting some organic farm fresh eggs for cooking. I just finished reading Janice Cole's excellent and engaging book, Chicken and Egg from Chronicle Books. It's a fun read on suburban homesteading and raising backyard chickens packed full of delicious and beautiful recipes.
