Hello, Haven't had chickens since I was a kid in Wyoming in the 60's: They were Brahmas, banties (don't know what kind; they were black and gold and could fly like pheasants), and a bunch of white ones. They free-ranged without problems, though I do remember our dogs killing rats in the chickenhouse. My wife recently became enamored--or even obsessed--with the idea of chickens, so now we have a snazzy little pre-built "Amish" chicken house with a small run. We have a Marans rooster and hen (about to start laying), as well as an Australorp hen. I like chickens and I'm glad I found this site. Bill
Howdy from Kansas, Bill and . Like you I also had chickens as a kid and got back into it just recently. Don't know why I waited so long! Welcome aboard!
Hi Bill and welcome from Ohio! So glad to hear that you've got a nice coop and a few chickens to enjoy! I just love mine. After a day at the office, it's nice to have a little hobby to come home to. And it's nice to get those fresh eggs too. Well, take care and glad you joined, Sharon
