Hi Mary...
Well I am from Louisiana as well and I live in Ponchatoula. I would like to connect to other chicken lovers such as myself so glad you put that message out. I have one very loved dog named Belle, one cat named TigerLily, three grandcats that live with me, 2 RIR, 2 Black sex-links, 2 Cochins (one a rooster and he will have to go), 2 Araucana's, 4 Barred Rocks, 2 Production Reds, and one studley Barred Rock Roo named Dudley! I have 3 grown children although my son and his wife live on our property with my granddaughter and my older daughter lives at home. My younger daughter is in the Navy almost 2 years now. I got into the chicken raising business last May when my son and granddaughter gave me 6 little chicks for Mother's Day... the gift that kept on giving.... ha! We had to construct a coop, fence in almost an acre of our backyard, enclose and smaller area around the coop for protection. I lost one hen to a hawk (hence the extreme protection measures) and another one to unknown causes (I think maybe a quick onset of heat stroke) so I still 4 of the original 6. I just adore them all! Well I hope I introduced myself in detail enough.... so, nice to meet you Mary.
Cindy

Hey y'all I'm Phoebe and I'm in Denham Springs. I got into chickens exactly 1 year ago, after much begging and whining when hubby decided it was HIS idea......
I have 2 sons, one will be 17 in August and one will be 4 in August.
I have 6 Miniature Pinschers (all but one is adopted) and I do Min-Pin and Pug rescue. I have .......Lord, way too many chickens.......White leghorns, Black Australorpes, Barred Rocks, Dominiques, BSL, RSL, Golden Campines, GLW, RIR, Welsummers, EE, lots of mutts, a white turkey (Giblet) and a bronze turkey (Sandwich), plus 3 ducks.....And I hatching more EE's and some Black Copper Marans (can't wait!!)

And Like Cindy, I started with 4 chickens, and 1 pen, but now we have 2 and need at least 2 more. Good thing my hubby loves me!

I am sort of in Louisiana as my family lives in Lake Charles and I am on the border trying to move there!

I have all kinds of chickens. But I love Araucanas and Silkies.
