SURPRISE! ..Mom's the chicken farmer!
Being a SAHM I am the "sole provider" for our newly acquired hens & "Roost". Along with 2 children (ages 4 and 2), I am no chicken farmer. Lol- Living in a non existent rural area in NEPA, I hope all of you can bare with me to help with any questions or concerns I have to eventually become the "chicken farmer" my daughter thinks I am.

Welcome to BYC from California wine country in the Western Sierra Foothills. :frow

I started with 8 chicks, one of which was an accidental rooster.... And now I have a flock of fifty-some chickens, twenty-some Cayuga ducks, four turkeys, five geese, and a peacock. Had I not discovered BYC, I really wonder what horrors my poor flock might have suffered....

I'm curious - what is "a non-existent rural area in NEPA?"

Population 100


-- I am originally a city girl and moved into this area 13yrs ago. I knew nothing but "Chickens poop eggs" (the way I explained it to my daughter), my hubby tried to give me some general background on them. I found myself "Googling" every single question imaginable and it always brought me to BYC forums. I figured; if my daughter wants to be a chicken farmer, I should be able to answer every question imaginable she asks, and be able to take care of them to the best of my ability being the hubby sometimes doesn't make it home for a day or two.

We have 9 total. 5 Reds, 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Barnevelders? (is there a shorter name for this chicken) and a Rooster.
