Plus they can get mean! <br /><br />I also read (when i was chickensitting for my old neighbor) about how eggs can stay at room temp for days and be fine. But when you wash them, you wash off a coating and they need to be refridgerated asap. My neighbor had a complex egg carton rotation system in place to ensure she used the eggs on a first in/first out kind of basis.<br /><br />This blogger has chickens and has some good posts about them: http://www.thecrunchychicken.com/search/label/chickens<br /><br />I, too, can't wait to see how you use scrapbook supplies to pretty up the coop!<br /><br />Cat litter jugs or buckets make cheap nesting boxes!Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280175094037573044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-83580530013320332132012-05-10T09:49:19.343-06:002012-05-10T09:49:19.343-06:00chickens!!! you lucky ducks.

It's too bad, I think it's a good idea IF they have proper living quarters. There was a huge debate about this last year, about people wanting to raise egg laying chickens in the city, but the city shot them down and said that chickens are too dirty and noisy. <br /><br />My next door neighbors once tried to raise chickens in a little shack covered with a tarp that was not a proper coop. they had like 8 chickens in this tiny thing. Anyway, because it was (a) not legal in our city, and (b) it was not a proper coop, my other neighbor decided to call animal control about it. <br /><br />Also, I saw on a blog a while ago (forget which one) about a very PRETTY chicken coop. do a google search??ter@waaomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281816721565523092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-380182803462847102012-05-10T05:18:37.430-06:002012-05-10T05:18:37.430-06:00LOL, Jill!

He loved them and they followed him around, although he did have a coop and a chicken wire enclosure that they stayed in. I didn't care either way about them ~ I was a young teen at that point. I did care when my parents went on a cruise one year and I had to get the friggin eggs out of that coop! It does smell inside the coop, so get your nose clothespin ready. Hey ~ you can pretty that up! Some paint, scrapbook paper. You'll have the prettiest pinched nose in the neighborhood. : )Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-19140445902017492092012-05-10T04:14:21.837-06:002012-05-10T04:14:21.837-06:00Oh, Jill, you are too funny.
