Hello Everyone!!

[Angelskids7]

Thanks for adding me to BYC! I have been checking with your group threads for advice for about 4 years, helping my SIL with some things with her chickens. However, 2 years ago I decided I wanted to raise chickens, too. At present I have 15 birds. These are in 4 coops and a mixture of full size and bantams.

I have white silkie bantams, 2 calico cochin bantams, 6 whiting true blue, and 3 partridge rocks. Each group has it's own roo. I treat my chickens like they are my babies. My grown children tell me I'm crazy because I talk to my birds, as if they are going to talk back to me. LOL.

I live in the country where we don't have zoning laws to deal with. My neighbors have chickens and other farm animals, it's a great little neighborhood!!

I found BYC on a link when looking for what chickens could & couldn't eat and have been hooked ever since.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Living in the country without tight restrictions on how you can and can't manage your flock is great. I couldn't imagine being at the mercy of people who don't know anything about properly keeping chickens.
