Yay! We are getting ready to welcome our chicken family members in May!
We have ordered 24 white rock broilers and we have 3 plymouth barred rock chicks on the way. We are hoping to find a few more established layers locally to get us started with eggs.
Chickens are a new venture for us but we are somewhat familiar with them. Friends of ours have been raising meat birds for a few years and they have encouraged us to take the plunge. We have brooded chicks for a friend as a homeschool project and we loved it. We are looking forward to the benefits of caring for these little creatures and raising our own food.
This website has been a wealth of knowledge to us as we have been planning for our new family members. We hope that maybe one day we can return the favour to a new chicken momma/poppa out there!
Glad to be here!
Amy, Joel & kids
