The one on the left is a Barred Plymouth rock (I flip out a little every time I look at it, it's so cool) and the one on the right is an Ameraucana (the prettiest one I could find). I originally wanted two black and white ones but the ones on the right lay turquoise eggs!

And look how cute my dream coop is.

San Diego recently changed the laws regarding keeping less than 5 chickens in residential areas, and lots of cities are following suit. The down side is that having chickens won't really save any money. A dozen eggs cost less than $2, after all, and a chicken coop costs around $200 to buy or to build. The chickens themselves are only $4 per chick or so! A bargain! Please, pretty please? You totally want them too.
yay! i want my own chickens too ;) free eggs!
ReplyDeletelove it! We have a goat and I've wanted chickens for a long time also. I'm not going to do it until the baby is older. My sister in law has some and love them. They do make a mess however.
ReplyDeleteYou should have them. The End.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the timing with the babies might not be great. I can hardly make it out to switch the laundry. In a few years though, they will petition their Dad with me!
