Hey guys!
I am brand new to chickens this year. We up cycled a broken down old shed into a beautiful chicken coop and my kids and I researched everything like crazy people for weeks.
We bought 15 chickens from cackle hatchery but received 17 and one died of an impacted crop. We now have 8 speckled sussex (1 roo who is gorgeous) and 8 barred Plymouth rocks. Super excited to try to hatch and raise the cross between those called "daisybelles."
I absolutely love that our kitchen scraps aren't just being wasted anymore. I have 4 kids and I cook 98 percent of our meals at home. It feels so good to save money on chicken feed and reduce our waste!
I'm a stay at home mom homeschooling 4 kids (one still in diapers) I have no time for hobbies. But I find that I can read or drink my coffee with all the kids sitting outside watching our chickens so I'm counting that as my hobby.
My kids love the chickens but my 3 year old boy was pecked by our rooster and is now afraid of him. (I would love advice on that)..
I have seen this website many times answering my questions that I Google. Lol so I'm excited to be a part and get to post threads!
