Greetings from Appalachia!

[Chillinwitmypeeps]

Hello, everyone!
I just wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself and my flock.
I am a wife, mom and Maw maw to a wonderful family living in southern West Virginia and keeping a tiny urban flock of feathered friends. I have Australorps, a Silver Laced Wyandotte and a barred Plymouth Rock. I'll be adding just a few more early in the summer after coop expansion. Hopefully some RIRs.

I raised chickens as a child for 4H with the assistance of my grandparents so it has been quite a while since I kept a flock.
My hubby is slowly coming over to the feathered side...we have eggs after all
Some of my other hobbies and interests include church activities & ministry,

sewing, gardening and canning.

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)
