I also share your dream, maybe we were separated at birth: "My long time dream is to have a farm with rescued animals and bring in at risk children to work and learn on the farm. I believe in the animal human connection and how therapuetic it is."
 
Maybe deprecated at birth but not too far from each other now!
I am in north Morris Co and Hinterdon is just west of here.
My chicks should get here soon all girls and will be 3 days old
 
Welcome to Backyard Chickens, Dara D!...

I am also rather new to chicken raising. I brought home 7 one-day old chicks 9 weeks ago.

I will have 3 Barred Plymouth Rocks, 3 Rhode Island Reds, and 1 Easter Egger.

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Found it while searching the internet.

Winemaking, gardening, cooking. I believe the importance of learning something new everyday, and hopefully will be for the rest of my life.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have 3 teen-aged daughters. am married to an amazing/crazy fun man, presently have 3 rescue cats, 3 rescue dogs, parrot, and breed koi.
At the moment, I am a teachers assistant at a private school for children with special needs, and also help run a continuing education program for adults. I rescue and rehabilitate dogs..
I also strongly believe in the animal/human connection, and have seen it work - (particularly with children).

Welcome...I know you will love the experience of chicken raising as much as I do!
