Chickens make me happy!!

[triciayoung]

Hello fellow chicken lovers! I'm a new member to this forum, and fairly new to falling in love with chickens. I began my small flock of 8 girls last year: 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Speckled Sussex, 2 Salmon Faverolles, and 2 Bielefelders. In May, I will have 8 more chicks arriving: 2 Buff Laced Polish, 2 Golden Campines, 2 Columbian Wyandottes, and 2 Silver Leghorns (hopefully, they will all prove to be girls, too!) Eggs are great, but definitely secondary to the companionship and laughter the girls provide me with on a daily basis. I feel blessed to finally know the pleasure of chicken keeping. I have much to learn and expect to continue learning for years to come to give my girls the best life possible. I look forward to the chicken expertise, advice, ideas and anecdotes on this forum.
