I admit to being addicted to online forums. Along with Collarchat I belong to Murray McMurray's chicken forum and Backyardchickens. I admit I'm way too nuts about chickens. Started out 2 years ago with a few chickens and a cheap coop. Now have 17 birds, 14 pullets (6 not laying yet) and 3 cockerels living a coop that was $700 in just materials. Oh yeah, electric poultry netting to go around the whole thing so the girls don't become fox dinner. We use about a dozen eggs a week and I have 2 to 3 dozen eggs to give away to family and neighbors each week. In a month I spend $50 on feed for that 1 dozen eggs I actually use. Yep, I admit I'm nuts but wouldn't have it any other way.
