Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to our little part of the world known as "Chicky Mania!" We (we being myself and my husband) are happy you found us. We have started this blog to show how you can be a "Suburban Farmer" (is that a real phrase?) We do it and love it. Of course, we would love to have a sprawling acreage to call our own, but if you are like us and live in the city limits, why shouldn't you have some chickens and some fresh grown veggies like the farmers do?

We have all sorts of birds in our backyard and we love them. My husband got me started on this, I never would have though I'd love any part of "country life", but I have seen the light. Life moves a little slower it seems with "Chicky's" in the backyard.

Husband is working on a post about hatching your own set of "Chicky's", it's not as hard as it may seem, and he'll explain it all to you (with pictures!). I believe we are currently working on some Delaware hatchlings at the moment. I just can't wait for their eggs, they will be perfect for all of my baking needs.

Later in the week I will be posting about my current favorite chicken, the Silky. I have a blue silky named Fluffers, who is quite the character. You'd swear she was a sweet little lap dog, not a wild chicken. I love her.

More to come.......
