Hi all!
I joined the forum last week after lurking for a while.
My story so far: checked with our local zoning & ordinance people about chickens and they gave us a go ahead, but warned me away from roosters.
Bought a few straight run EE chicks from a hatchery supplied store. They're currently hanging out in a heated aquarium while the family (meaning DH) works on a chicken tractor.
I must have scared zoning because they have begun work on livestock zoning ordinances.
Since we've just started our foray into chickens, I don't have much to tell. The goal is egg laying pets. We were steered towards the EE (I fear without proof that most are not of the egg laying persuasion) but I aim to have Black Copper Marans and I've heard lovely things about Orpingtons, Langshans and Sussex (Sussexes?) Obviously, I can't have all I want. And I know I have much more to learn. Which is why I finally registered here! Y'all seem like good people with tons of knowledge.
So:
Hello All! I'm glad to be here! I'm going to go back to lurking until I find something I can contribute to. Thanks for having me!
