Hi my name is Sheri and I am new to the Chicken business... I got Chickens because eggs are just to darn expensive for us here in Northern Montana. I was given 12 chickens and 3 turkeys one tom and two hens. I need to learn the ropes about chickens... I HAVE NO IDEA what i am doing
 
Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help..

So glad you got some chickens! Those fresh eggs are better than anything around! LOL

Welcome to BYC, Sheri. Glad you decided to join our flock. Do you know what kind of chickens you have? Unless you have high lay yielding breeds (or hybrids) like White Leghorns or sex links, you are likely not going to get enough eggs to offset the expense of feeding and caring for your chickens. Your primary reason for raising chickens should for fun, just because you like raising them. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck in getting lots of eggs.
 
I'm doing pretty well with eggs... I usually get about 5-6 chicken eggs and two turkey eggs a day... they are funny little creatures though... we named a chicken big boot Judy because she is huge and she is my favorite already!!! she loves to be held

I'm glad to hear it. That's a good lay rate so you must have some fairly high yield chickens. :eek:)
 
idk what kind they are we have white, red, gold, black, and spotted chickens... but my daughter goes out and sits with them quite often and and another one bites the dust for them... she says they dance to it... lol
