Hi, I'm Kathleen. I've browsed this site many times, but just signed up because I have an ill rooster and I hope someone can help. I have posted in the appropriate forum!
I acquired my first six hens in February--already laying--from a friend; then I succumbed to the chicks at the feed store and bought six. I currently have three Leghorns (I had four, but one died this summer), one Barred Rock/mixed breed, a Red Sex Link, two Buff Orpingtons, two Plymouth Barred Rocks, and two Light Brahmas. One of the Orpingtons is a rooster, my Henry, who is ill.
I have only one complaint about keeping chickens--having to get up so early in the morning and to go to bed early. I'm not an "early-to-bed-early-to-rise" person, so this has taken some adjustment.
Anyway, here I am, such as I am!
