Chicken Mama in West Virginia

[Ginnylouwho]

Hi everyone! My husband and I live in West Virginia, and have had chickens for almost a year now. We started with 6, and now we have 24, 6 of which are about three weeks, with another 14 on the way. (Silkies are the broodiest chickens I've ever seen!!!

We have 2 buff orpington roosters (which we are trying to rehome for free), two barred rocks, 1 black australorpe, 3 ISA's, 5 silkies, 1 polish crested, 1 partridge rock, 3 easter eggers, and 6 baby silkies.

We both grew up on farms, and decided that we missed having chickens around so we started with a few, and the flock grew-because who can pass up cute baby chicks?!
While my husband works (and builds the coops!) I stay at home and sew, keep our pet birds and dog happy, and spend time with the chickens.

I'm glad that I found this forum in a google search, as it's nice to meet people that love chickens as much as I do! Hope to see you around

Welcome Ginnylouwho to the BYC! Yes life without chickens is just not the same. Once you have them in your yard, it brings life to your yard. I can only tell you that once you have them.... watch for chickenaddition!! Some call it chicken math... however it's not really that... it's chickenaddition! or you could call it chickenaddiction!

Also I need to warn you... when you look at @A_Fowl_Guy and @Brahmachicken240 pictures when they add to replies... guess what...

You will not only get chickenaddiction and duckaddiction
