I absolutely adore my 6 Bantam Frizzled Cochin hens. They are so cut, and all they make you want to do is hug them! They make great therapy chickens, better than any other breed. I come from a...

Hello!

My name is Caroline and I am from NH. I recently became a lover of chickens... Never in my life did I ever thnk i would own a chicken as a pet never mind a flock! Plus I just got 6 new babies! I have fallen in love with the whole chicken rasing thing and so have my children.

I first started this just for the eggs and as we built the coop and got a whole flock cheap ive come to realize this is my favorite new hobbie and my favorite pet! I have read so much about breeds and how to build a coop... and a brooder and everything from this site!! So now I want to be apart of the crew! Plus I could use some experts when I need a question answered or too... also excited to meet co chicken lover friends!!
