Ooh, congrats!!! That's so exciting. :) We just had a little girl in July. Are you starting to prepare the nursery and stuff? Will you have a baby shower?
And yes, I'm from Ohio! :) Where did you live in Ohio?
Who knows if this will catch on at all, but I wanted to create a thread for parents. I am a new mom myself, and I think it would be nice to have a place to talk to others (particularly others who also have livestock to care for in addition to their children) who are parents about the various...

Good to know! I typically try to steer clear of the high production super layers when I can, because they typically get reproductive issues and don't live long. Hopefully she doesn't have those genes.

I love Light Brahmas! Enjoy your birds :)
At just 15 weeks old, Clover laid her first egg today! It's more blue than I thought it would be, but still beautiful. I know sometimes the first few eggs look different from what color they end up laying for the rest of their lives though, so we'll see.
