Love my chickens!

I am new to Backyard Chickens and am raising Lavender Orpingtons.  I only have 8 to start out with but they are really beautiful.  I used to have Buff Orps years ago but sold them all when I moved.  It has been 7 years since I had chickens and I am so excited about it.  My chicks are a couple of months old now. 

4 grown children, 6 grandchildren, 8 Lavender Orpingtons, 8 French Black Copper Marans, a trio of Ginger Red OEGB and 2 dachshunds.

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?

At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.

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 for the warm welcome everyone.  I forgot to mention that I am in Oklahoma.  I also have two miniature dachshunds which are my family since my real kids grew up.  LOL
