Hello everyone
Just wondering if there are any local groups in my area. I live in SW Pa..just south of Pittsburgh. I have had my flock of 12 (5 silkies, 4 RIRs, 3 BRs) for about a year......I think I finally have a hobby! I love watching my chicks, enjoying fresh eggs, and reading up on all...

Hi everyone....
I'm a newbie around here, but I just got my chicks yesterday. All 14 chicks (from MPC) are doing very well. 5 Barred Rocks, 5 RI Reds, 2 Silkies and the other 3 are Cochins (? I think:rolleyes:). They are so cute!!

Hi Juli, Sharron & all
