Holtkamp House Chickens Update
So what’s a chicken to do when the temperatures reach the 90s and it’s humid as humid can get? (And you don’t have a superior functioning AC from the leading HVAC company in the metro Atlanta area?)

Holtkamp Chickie Update – Can You Stand It?
Well, we’re parents again. Not sure if we should celebrate or have an omelette. Huh? We were rewarded with our first egg last Saturday at 2:34 p.m. (Yes, I know the exact time it happened.)
