Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

You have one of the greatest stories about how you wound up with all those chickens. If you don't mind, post a picture for us of your flock or part of it. I'd especially like to see the rummage sale hen.

We're glad you're here!

Hi everyone and thank you for the warm welcome! When I can get a moment I will upload what we have done and the brooder boxes we made as the 12 chicks outgrew the Tractor Supply brooder box in less than 3 weeks!

We got out first chicken at a yard sale 12 April 2025. The man said she was not his and if we could catch her please take her - she was destroying his garden and he kept trying to get her to leave. She happens to be an Ancona and lays pinkish eggs. A week later we went to a flea market and got 2 Rhode Island Reds but they did not start laying until June. I found myself in tractor supply and 12 babies later-- here we are 6 weeks later and not sick or lost chickens. We have 1 Ancona, 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 3 Lavendar Orpingtons, 3 Black Stars/Sex Links, 2 Black Gold Laced Wyandottes, 2 Ameraucanas. 5 cats and a 10 year old staffy that loves to watch all the animals and sit by the baby chickens.

I am here to learn and grow as a chicken farmer.

Welcome!
