Hi everyone! I'm Jenn and I'm from Northern Illinois! I got 7 sweet chicken babes sort of on a whim. My sister suggested that I raise them in a brooder for her flock, but my skin puppies (kids) fell in love almost immediately and now I'm a chicken mother too. We have a silver laced polish, fabulous buff cochin, rustic rock, black sexlink, two white leghorns (leggy blondes), and a california white. I had no idea these birds are so affectionate, and that they have such personality! The more I read about these smart little birds, the more I fall in love with them every day! I think my favorite thing is how they turn their head to the side and look you dead in the eye. So, my goal is #1, to keep them alive happy. Might need some help. I have already turned to this community for answers online about 1K times in the past month, so grateful to be a part of such a wise and caring community!

Welcome to BYC! Chickens are as individual as humans! Most of them are real characters too! If you are lucky you may end up with a lap chicken! Good luck with your flock!
