We lived in the busy city of Philadelphia for 7 years, after which we moved to Arizona where my hubby practices dentistry. We enjoy the abudant sunshine and suburban living. However, after our first month living here, we had already discovered 7 scorpions inside our house (not to mention 50 outside)! What gets rid of scorpions? Chickens! Hubsters got the crazy notion in his head to raise chickens and delighted in the prospect of fresh eggs in the morning. I thought, "Hmmm, okay, at least he's wanting
these kind of chicks and not girlfriend-type chicks. I'll just let him get this bee out of his bonnet. Maybe one or two chickens wouldn't
be so bad." We now have...wait for it...10 chickens! That's TEN!
My handy husband built a chicken coop (by himself- he amazes me) and now has a love affair with his "ladies." (again, at least it's this kind) He checks on them first thing in the morning, as soon as he gets home from work, and usually before bed.
They are laying chickens, so starting in March or so we will be collecting about 8 eggs a day...Eggs anyone?

Came across your blog Alyson - love it. I love eggs. You can boil them, fry them, scrabble them and well . . . they are great.
