Hi Connie: Nice to meet you. From the looks of your blog, it looks like spring has arrived to your lovely garden in North Central Idaho. Enjoy this wonderful season. Hope you'll come again.

Hi…I came by from Victoria's blog. I am in North Central Idaho.
I miss having chickens. We plan to have some again when hubby retires in a few years.

Hi Kim and Victoria: Thanks for stopping by. I've enjoyed reading about your new chicks Tootsie, Jelly Bean and Ginger too. Just another example of chickens coming to the 'burbs. Teresa

Hi Islandgardener: Good feedback. I know some foxes got into the chickens down the way from us. So it certainly seems like a good idea to look at ways to protect your chickens from predators. Thanks for stopping by. Teresa

Depending upon the predator, the rooster may also be easy prey, too, so for that reason, people new to chicken raising shouldn't think the rooster is the solution! I raise geese — much and more apt to hurt something meaning to do them harm — but, I still need to be cautious!

Alyssa: Those are all excellent points to consider. The travel is the biggest concern, as they are making small coops for urban spaces now. But if you have a great local source for eggs, then you're all set anyway. Thanks for stopping by… Teresa
