That Old College Try
Well, after a long talk with Linda, I've agreed to keep the chickens at least through Fall. She has a plan that, if we're able to implement it, will make Winter care much easier, and provide electricity to power lights to increase the chances of Winter eggs. Whether we can see that project through remains to be seen, but at least getting through Fall lets me feel like I gave it a legitimate try!

Gawsh, I can so relate to what you're feeling with the chickens. Especially last year, when winter came and after keeping chickens for almost 7 months, I'd only gotten a handful of eggs (they were still young) but it paid off in the spring when they started laying again.
I also had to re-think the positioning of the coop (put it closer to the house so I wouldn't have to trudge as far thru the snow), the fencing (decided to let them have the run of the backyard and fence off the garden instead)
You're an animal lover so you're going to worry about their health and comfort. I bet you have very happy chickens. Hope you find a way to make it more fun :)
