Introducing us: my husband Joe, 2 sons, and I have had a small flock for about 9 years. We love the eggs. Nothing better. But we had no idea how cool our girls would be. They run to us, love being pet, picked up, and talk to us all the time. Such fun critters to have. We live in Wyoming, have a couple horses, 3 cats (one is mostly dog) and 3 dogs.
