Hello from a new chicken mama!

[LolaMama]

Hi! I’m in South Carolina (US). I have 4 seven week olds, my first crew. I got them from the “all pullet” bin at TSC, and only one is a pullet. So I’ll have one SL Cochin and am getting another same age lavender orp pullet to be her friend. I’m so sad about the boys but I can’t keep roos in my area. So excited to start raising my girls though! In process of building a garden coop in my backyard. Amazing info on this site!!!

Welcome Glad you decided to join us! If you can, consider getting two (or three) buddies for her. Chickens are flock animals and do better in a group.... and if something happens to one of them you will not have a lonely chicken
