I'm fairly New to owning chickens. A friend incubated eggs and gave me 6. We had 2 die. We ended up with 3 hens and a rooster. They were born at the end of August. So like 8 months old. We just recently added 6 bantam chicks to the mix. We also have my 2 fur babies a Jack Russell mix and a German shepherd. My husband and I love to garden and travel with our 2 boys!! Thank you for the add. I need all the help I can get.
