Hello all 🙂 Newbie from California

You, My Friend, Are AWESOME at CHICKEN MATH!! +++xxx= YAY (oh yeah and welcome to BYC!)
🤣 It certainly has been interesting raising each batch approx. two weeks apart! I’m a city girl new to the country life and way way new to chickens (I have 5 dogs as well). 😆
I forget how long it took us to build the coop.. we were also working and remodeling our kitchen at the same time. I can’t believe my brain kinda sorta works still. Oh well, everyone still gets fed on time, that’s the important thing right? 😁

I have to say the biggest surprise is how different their little personalities are. I have two pullets that won’t let me take a step without being under my feet and won’t let me leave the run without holding them each for a minute or two; and others that won’t let me get near them unless I have worms or broccoli treats of course. 🤣

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out.
I hope the coop is big enough for 21 birds.
I think so, but we also have 6-7 Roos to be moved out today to the roo bachelor pad we just put together. It’s really just an old covered outdoor dog run with some fixing up for them. Damn my love for animals.. I just couldn’t give the boys up for meat birds. 🙄 They will roam the property and keep an eye on the ladies I’m hoping. 😁

Hi, Jilly, where in California are you? I'm a chicken newby in far northern coastal Cal's "temperate rainforest", almost Oregon, after living for years in sunblasted, hot & dry urban SoCal. Everyone at BYC has been so friendly and helpful, and the forums cover myriad questions & topics on all things chicken. Welcome to this great group!
