I am new here - I’m located in selma, Ca and I started with 4 chicks in Feb 2023.. then I got 1 more.. then I got 2 more…. And then I got 3 more…. And I definitely don’t have plans to go see some more after work tomorrow…

Anyways, I currently have -
2 - RIR hens
2 - EE hens
4 - Welbar hens (possibly bielefelder I’m not sure)
1 - cuckoo maran cross hen
1 - White Brahma Roo

I love my chickens, raising them is so fun and when they begin laying it is very rewarding.
My favorite part of my daily routine is collecting the eggs from my girls and admiring how beautiful they are! My favorites are currently the brown freckled eggs I get from my Welbars.

My husband and I are both 26 y/o & live in the countryside of Selma, Ca. We have 10 chickens, 5 dogs, 2 cats, 1 turtle & 1 snake - and besides my animals gardening is a great passion of mine.

I decided to finally joint BYC after about 6 months of consistent lurking View attachment 3668336

I have worse math than you! Try being given one young rooster that we were supposed to have for "dinner" to in just less than a YEAR we 48 have chickens! Thirty seven are Silver Laced Wyandottes!

Thank you so much!! also I’ve been informed it’s chicken math not chicken tax per se, the idea is you always end up with more than you planned for 1 chicken = 3 chickens in a sense. Lol

That happens to most of us, so welcome to the Club.

Welcome to BYC! You have some very beautiful hens and eggs!

Thank you so much! I saw your photo of Felicia and she is stunning. I can’t help but notice they are SO similar. How can one tell them apart??

Chickens can remember faces (both animal and human) for at least 1 year without seeing them.
