I joined Back Yard Herd in February and have really enjoyed that site - it didn't take me long to realize I was missing out by not joining BYC. We're aspiring market growers building up an acre and a half in East TN with two dairy does ready to breed this fall, two beehives, and an overly ambitious vegetable patch. We also have an English setter, a corgi mix, a cavalier King Charles spaniel, and unofficial ownership of the neighbor's cat.
Which brings me to our new (first ever) chicken experience. We've been incubating eggs from a breeder friend and have had a very exciting hatch this week with 13 chicks: 5 Chanteclers, 4 British Cream Legbars, 3 Black Copper Marans, 1 Lavender Ameraucana. (I really need 2 of something so I can sing the Twelve Days of Christmas to that.
)
I'm looking forward to learning a great deal from this community.

and Welcome To BYC! Congratulations on the successful hatch! Why don't you just give into chicken math and get the whole Twelve Days Of Christmas, chicken version ....
