And what a bargain -- they seem so cheap when you consider all the eggs you'll get from them!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-14495992664947593422009-06-04T04:29:50.270-06:002009-06-04T04:29:50.270-06:00I'm enjoying reading these chicken posts even ...I'm enjoying reading these chicken posts even if there's no room for me to raise chickens.
