I took care of chickens many years ago when I was in middle school, but just got back into them approximately a week ago. A couple was moving and could not take their backyard flock with them. I currently have ten chickens. There was supposed to be nine hens and one rooster, but I think there may be two roosters. Now that we are done setting up the coop and run, I will take pictures of them to compare to mature photos of their specific breeds.
The flock consists of two Rhode Island Reds, three Barred Rocks, three silver laced Wyandottes, one black EE, and one barnyard mix. I have been using Barnyard Chickens and a FB group called Chickens, Chickens, Chickens, as well as any other website I could find to get myself up to speed on how to care for chickens. For example, we are building a freestanding roost for our run using a picture posted to this website.
We have a place on six acres, with 2 rescue horses, 3 rescue kittens, and two dogs (one rescue). So getting chickens was something I was supposed to do this summer, but decided not to wait. Thanks for letting me join!
