    Hello, everyone. I'm a new member to the Backyard Chickens. I have two silkies and an ISA brown hen (she's in my dad's flock, but I've claimed her as my own 🙂). I'm quite new to owning chickens, but my dad has had ISA browns for as long as I can remember.

    Newbie Introduction

    Hello all, I’m a newbie in the community of chickens. I’ve had two hens for about a year now but I got them as adults and now I’ve recently added 3 Wyandotte pullets who are 2 months and 2 straight run Splash Ameraucana’s who are almost a month and a half. So it’s a mystery to see if I got two...

    Hello! Molly Here
