Howdy, Folks!

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 

I've been visiting this site in recent weeks and have decided to join you. I've had chickens a few times in my life. When my high school Senior was a kindergartener our HOA forced us to get rid of our hens after 6 years of enjoying them. Now more folks than ever are giving the HOA the "bird" and sneaking chickens in here. So, I'm doing it too. I'm taking my family to choose some pullets this weekend. The chickens will add to the menagerie already living here: 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, and 2 horses at the local barn. So happy for all the great ideas I've already gleaned from all you members! STEWARTHCmeNvince.jpg

I'd go nuts with an HOA. Always had to many animals to deal with the animals that run them.

 

Glad you found us. What breeds are you getting?

Welcome from Pennsylvania. I have a menagerie very simalar to yours but live in the boonies... the only nosy troublemakers I have to deal with are bears, coons,  hawks, etc. Luck!

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Romans 8:38-39

For i am convinced that neither death nor life,neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future,nor any powers,neither height depth,nor anything else in all creation,will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
