They are fun and easy but the start up costs were high (building a coop). They are quiet 23.5 hours a day and set up a squawk around laying time only, mid morning. Egg production slows down in relation to daylight duration; slow November-February in my area.

But really I like some exclamation points to let people know I am attempting a light hearted and cheerful tone, and likewise with smiley faces to indicate a (no doubt feeble) attempt at a joke. Sometimes with cultural differences in manner of speech between countries, facial expression (aka the smiley face) is important. Occasionally a comment that is commonplace and jocular to us Aussies might seem a bit off to a reader from another country, where a single word might have a slightly different connotation. That's my excuse anyhow! :D<br /><br />On another note, I am so sorry to read you lost your dear mother, please accept my late but sincere condolences.

I can drive a bit & get uber-fresh from the local eggers, & some of the local stores have really good, fresh, pastured eggs (which sell out quickly), but they are up to $8-9/dozen.

I am not a fan of them, generally. I think it has to do with the teaching of 'the day'. I remember being taught not to use many EP's. Not sure what is taught these days. I'll have to consult with my DD on that one.<br /><br />One of my friends keeps chickens. They live on family land in the country, and have a coop attached to their barn. It's the cleanest coop ever. Last time I was there, we fed the chickens some kale from the garden. The fresh eggs they give us are so delicious, and surprising how different from grocery store eggs - and I buy the organic, free-range type. I'd love to keep chickens, but it's probably not going to happen where we live. BTW, not sure if this will happen where you live, but my friends' chickens stop laying eggs during the summertime. Too hot, I guess.Andreahttp://satinbirddesigns.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222007135907343863.post-68381851206282922802012-06-02T17:23:01.708-07:002012-06-02T17:23:01.708-07:00Do your neighbors get to vote on the chickens? :)...Do your neighbors get to vote on the chickens? :)<br /><br />I do put up reviews of older patterns, for precisely the reason you suggest.
