- 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. My husband and I just finished (Feb. 2010) building raised beds - we now have about 165 sq. ft. of garden space. We welcomed six fuzzy baby chicks in June of 2009. They are all big, beautiful hens now and living comfortably in a small cottage in the back yard. 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.
