Now that I've finished with school and have few plans to leave for the summer, we've decided it a good time to raise some new chickens. Our older ladies, bless their hearts, are more pets than producers these days-- really mere place holders for the egg layers of the future. Breeds of choice for this new batch: New Hampshire Reds, Delawares, Speckled Sussex, Black Australorps, and my personal favorite Buff Orpingtons. Chicks, if you haven't raised them before, may be the worlds most endearing baby creature. Their fuzzy heads and butts would melt a heart of stone.
