Hey guys!

I'm Mandie, and my husband and I are new to the chicken scene. We got some chicks in April and have since grown quite attached. We have a pretty small flock, only 7 total, but I hope to be adding to that soon!

 

We live in Northern KY and have 2 dogs. I have been reading BYC for quite some time.. its a very valuable source of information. I recently had a few problems come up, and thought it was time I register.

 

Thanks for all the great information everyone provides!!

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

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?
