New to BYC and from New Hampshire

Hello all,

 

Okay, so I started out with Six 1 week old chicks a month ago, unknown breed and sex. Than a friend gave me Four 1 year old Easter Eggers. To make a long story short I now have Eight 6 month old Rhode Island Reds, Eight 7 month old Bantum Cochin.  We had Ten but 2 turned out to be Roosters... a friend of my son's put them in his yard on tick patrol!

I am setting 15 Bantum eggs in the Incubator in the morning, a friend of mine wants the chicks, when they are hatched. I just want to hatch some in the new bator my sister gave me tonight.

 

I live in New Hamshire . We have 10 Labradors. I raise, breed and train Retrievers for Therapy and service work. We also send a lot of pups out as feet warmers and couch potatos!

 

I am married , and my husband and kids love the Chickens as much as I do. My husband and I have even put our chairs in the run and have coffee with "girls" in the evening.

 

We have 4 children ages 14 to 25 and a wonderful grandaughter who is 5 and just loves the Chickens and of course the dogs and pups.

 

I am very excited to be part BYC

hello Wendi and welcome-byc.gif
Sounds like that "chicken math" is setting in already, you've got a great-sounding flock there!
Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have, and enjoy the site. big_smile.png

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan big_smile.png

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

Thank you all. I am so glad to be here. I never would have guessed chickens would be so much fun.
