- About Me:
- I am a country girl at heart - stuck in the city! For years I have been planning for the day I can relocate to a green, rural area. But ,for now, I have decided to "bloom where I am planted". I started my suburban "farm" last year (2009) with five dwarf fruit trees. They all died over the summer. So, I am starting again.We have four hens from the original six chicks we bought in June 2009. My husband and I just finished (Feb. 2010) building raised beds - we now have about 165 sq. ft. of garden space. We also have two new apple trees - hopefully they have a brighter future ahead of them than the others did!

Mel said… - I did a little research today. I too am very interested in having them. Wonder how close we live? What are your cross streets? what do you consider loud around egg laying? Can you hear them from the sidewalk? I wish I would have joined earlier and attended the backyard chicken class.
