Hello Everyone,
I'm so eggcited (see what I did there?) to be here! After scanning through this amazing site for a couple of days I finally decided to join. My history with chickens isn't the greatest. I aquired my first ones from a little local feed store. I was delighted with them and couldn't get over the wonder of their lizard (or dragon) like legs (Isn't God creative?). Unfortunately, at that time I was not cut out for chicken keeping. I had done plenty of research but not on one of the most important things "What Animals Can Kill Chickens And How Do I Stop Them?" So within a few weeks I had lost nearly everyone. I have no one to blame but myself. My remaining two lived for a year and a half before they were taken by a canine predator. It came totally unexpected since I thought the coop was prepared for any attack. That time was difficult but God helped me through it. In the years that followed I was afraid to get more chickens so I hung out with my friend's flock instead and learned all I could. I believe I am now at least barley worthy to keep more of thease beautiful animals. This spring I'm planning on getting 7 - 9 chicks and I would LOVE any breed suggestions. Something perhaps exotic but useful?
