    A little bit about 21henmom

    I currently have 21 girls of various breeds ranging from 8 months to about 18 months. I love raising chickens! They are like my children. I have two coop/ run set ups and my girls get free time each day. I have always gotten lots of good info BYC and decided to finally join.
