I live in rural Pa in the southcentral part of the state. My oldest and younger sister got me into to chickens as they started with them first. 4 years ago I got my first chickens as a birthday gift. I have had chickens ever since.

I have a mixed flock of chickens at the moment. 1 adult isa red female. I have 6 2 week old chicks:
2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 barnavelders, 1 barred rock and 1 brahma. I love brown egg layers, heritage dual purpose breeds.

I used to have austrolorps, golden laced Wyandottes and an Americana. They passed this past year. I let them free range about 50% of the time and are cooped at night as I have Coyotes, bear and bald eagles in the area, and an occasional neighbors loose dog.

I also garden: vegetables, strawberries, black and red raspberries and flower. I compost the chicken coop poop and let them loose in the veggie garden when it's done.

I love my chickens. Each one has it's own personality and bring me and my family much joy.

Hi!
Welcome to BYC!
What an amazing flock of chickens you have! I love Buff Orpingtons!
It’s awesome that you garden and can grow your own food! I love watching my chickens scratch up the garden and fertilize it while eating all of the bugs and larva to ensure a great crop layer in the year! ❤️
Hope you enjoy BYC!
