Not new to chickens--this is my 14th year--but new to this site. I am a 4-H youth specialist, Master Gardener, general eggspert on chickens to friends far and near.

I live in the beautiful Ozarks of Missouri, on a little 2 acre piece of heaven. I have 10 old hens, 20 new pullets, 7 turkeys (one old tom who moved in with my chickens was so much fun I decided to buy him some friends this year), and 6 new bantam babies. I am a dog person, too--3 of my own and 1 that belongs to my 84 year old mom who lives with me. 2 cats, too, so the house is always full of hair. :(

I love to cook, garden, read, swim and entertain my 2 granddaughters. (The older one is 6 and loves her chickens!)

Looking forward to meeting new friends, and sharing information.
 
Welcome to BYC.
 
Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Sounds like you have a large, lovely flock. I'm glad your granddaughter is enjoying the chickens. My grandparents taught me most all I know about chickens. They sold their farm last year but now I'm continuing their chicken legacy and I hope to someday have kids of my own who love and appreciate chickens as well as other animals.
 
Sounds like you are aging to perfection. You may be interested in checking out "The Old Folks Home," thread - a very, very nice group of people. Topics change often and sometimes are actually about chickens. You don't have to be old to join. There is no pecking order. I am one of the elders (68) but we have members of all ages.

Welcome to Backyard chickens, glad you joined the flock.
