It's official, the chickens are coming! After a lot of homework (and convincing my landlord) I am getting chickens. I've decided to create a blog to share my unique experience and inspire others.
On May 11th, I will get my chicks (who will be a couple of days old). I will brood them inside for about 6 weeks. As soon as they get their head feathers (and when the coup is completed) they will begin their journey outside.
I will be getting 1 Barred Plymouth Rock (black & white) and 1 Buff Orpington (Red).
They both lay light brown eggs and are warm and cold weather hardy (a must in Chicago). Another nice quality, they are both mild tempered (we'll see).
There are so many great breeds of chicken, it was a tough choice.
