12 chickens and counting...

[Jaylee52]

Hi everyone,

I'm brand new to chickens. We got our first day-old chicks 3 weeks ago. And then we got some year-old layers that a neighbor could no longer take care of just a few days later.

So now we have...

Chicks:
(1) Welsummer named Moe
(1) Salmon Faverolle named Martha
(1) GL Wyandotte named Ladybird
(1) Gray Easter Egger named Dolley

Hens:
(2) Rhode Island Reds
(3) SL Wyandottes
(3) Ameracaunas - 1 white and 2 gold/gray
​

My husband and I are full-time beekeepers but these are the first non-bee additions to our farm! We hope to get goats in the next year. This doesn't count the cows on our our land since it is leased is to our neighbor who owns the cows. And we have two dogs, a 10 year old Lab-mix named Hank and a 4 year old Black and Tan Coonhound named Rita.

This site helped me so much when my chicks were just 4 days old and we ran into some problems. thanks for the great community!
