Hello from Washington State!!!

Hi everyone,

 

I am a new member, but I have been reading the forum for a very long time. I have learned a great deal from everyone here so I decided to FINALLY join.

 

I have been raising chickens for the past 4 years. I currently have 13 hens (8 RIR, 3 RIR/Wyandotte(???) mixes, and two black ones (recently given to me so I am not sure of the breed) and one rooster, I thought he was a silverlaced Wyandotte when he was younger but not sure now, wrong type of comb). One of my mixes are currently broody, my avatar is the three chicks that have hatched already. 

 

I also have on order 5 welsummer, 5 easter eggers, and 5 plymouth barred rock chicks. They are to be shipped out on the 8th so I should be expecting them in about a week!! wee.gif

 

I look forward to meeting everyone!!!

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?
