The snow oh my!!!! So different from Hawaii. All I can say is we have 2 dogs and our adopted cat and having these chickens isn't any big deal, they are so easy. I wouldn't do a rooster though, but I guess it was a package deal for us...for a couple hens, no need for a rooster. We got our first egg and it was so exciting.Bruce Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608705993987319356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133152685689935868.post-51205130638843069982008-12-09T17:21:00.000+01:002008-12-09T17:21:00.000+01:00I so wish that we could have a couple of laying he...I so wish that we could have a couple of laying hens ourselves, but that may need some convincing with the husband since he already figures that 2 dogs are enough pets to have on the property.<BR/><BR/>But dogs so not lay eggs dear!<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to when you'll be able to gather fresh eggs!Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133152685689935868.post-84641256548365866942008-12-09T09:20:00.000+01:002008-12-09T09:20:00.000+01:00Hey there!

You know an egg is fertilized if you put it up to a light and see, the embryo through the shell. This is called "candling." A hen will sit on a egg, whether or not it is fertilized. Do we need a Rooseter for the hens to lay...no. Are we coming back to the states....yes, in Sept/October, but because of $$ reasons, we'll have to decide if/when we can come back.Bruce Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608705993987319356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133152685689935868.post-55772204856180327752008-12-06T19:38:00.001+01:002008-12-06T19:38:00.001+01:00betty - yes, the mexican feast was huge hit.

They're on Saturday mornings. It sounds like you can go to one or more, whatever you want. They're a little pricey though -- 60 euros a session, but you get to take food away with you.
