HI all, my name is Christine. I'm a chef, wife and mother of a rambunctious 5 year old daughter, and the relatively new mom (first time!) of six Speckled Sussex birds. Looking forward to those in NJ or elsewhere who want to chat chickens, as they've become my new favorite hobby! Our chicks are 9 weeks old, and doing great! LOVE the forums, so glad three is a community here of like-minded peeps (pun intended).
