Hi! Western Grove here (a little South of Harrison).

Actually, you look slightly familiar (though, as I get older EVERYONE looks familiar....senility perhaps LOL). Just moved back here from Alaska a couple of years ago but lived here most of my life. There are a lot of things about this area I really love (well....it is home).

Hi y’all! I’m new here so I sure hope I’m doing this right! My name is Haley and I currently live and take care of chickens in central AR! I wasn’t expecting to take care of chickens long term but my 12 girls came into my life unexpectedly at my workplace and now I love them more than anything! I came here by research on the internet and was so excited to discover a whole website full of people dedicated to loving these unique animals!

Anyway, I have no clue what I’m doing. I’m learning from google, day by day but I wanna give my girls the best lives I can give them. Right now it’s as simple as feeding them well, keeping their water fresh, their coop is clean, and loving on them when I can but I feel like I could be doing more or doing better! I’ve got lots of questions and if anyone has some amazing beginner advice or simply wants to chat, I’m open to it! My biggest areas of concern are: noticing and monitoring potential sickness or infection/injuries, keeping their area clean (besides the coop), how to prepare for winter, how to clip wings correctly, and proper care for collecting eggs as they’ve started laying!

I know this post is long but I’m passionate about this now and I wanna do it right! I look forward to potentially getting to chat with folks pictured are some of them! I have 12: the three oldest are Robirda, Gerdy, and Claire. Then the 9 raised together are Emerald, Mocha, Tippy, Tiny, Tawny, Rupple, Chickita, Henny, and Dot.

Look what I found today. Five little babies running between Mamas and one still in the nest resting from the tough job of hatching out.
