You can't un-break a hatched egg..

Welcome to my blog about a young young lady (me) and the (outlaw) chickens she always wanted.  My (accomplice) husband, myself, two dogs, a loud-mouth cockatoo and now 5 chickadees all living in a small town in the Flint Hills of Kansas that has forbade chickens in the city.
After sweet talking a Tractor Supply employee my dream is finally realized; sweet sweet six furry feet! Three Bantam Silkie chicks hopefully pullets (one suspect cockerel)!  DOB 3/3/11.  Yet another lenient TSC and our nest is complete; two of the prettiest chicks ever join.  Blue Andalusian pullets (for sure/probably) DOB 3/16/11.  
Pullet:  A young domestic hen, usually one that is less than one year old.
Silkie Chicken:  A bantam (small dwarf-like) chicken with curly, fluffy feathers, rose comb and black bones and skin.  Japanese origination.
Blue Andalusian: Blue Andalusians has a single comb with 5 distinct points. Medium sized bird with large egg productivity. Female Blue Andalusian combs droop to side. Bright white earlobes. Horn beak, dark slate shanks and toes. Upright carriage. Slate blue feathers laced with darker blue. Originated in Andalusia, Spain. 
This is an attempt to document the ever growing chickadees, the process of building their coop and my first crack at chicken-egg only-farming.
