I came over here after I looked at your other thread. Welcome to BYC! Are you homesteading, or (for now) just doing chickens?

lol I would feel cocky calling myself a homesteader! I feel still too new to it, I guess. Everyone says I just like to find more excuses to stay home (they're not wrong ).
We started with angora rabbits and raised garden beds for veggies when we bought our first home about 3 years ago, and it's grown since then. I grew up on a farm and married into suburbia so I'm always trying to find ways to add more "farmlife" into our life.

We've been talking about getting chickens since we started house-hunting, but I -ahem- "surprised" my husband and toddler in Jan with hatching eggs . It was time!

How many did you hatch?

Out of the 14 eggs I bought, 7 hatched. 5 girls and 2 boys!

Hey, modern homesteading is what you make it. You start out small and do as much as you feel ready for. You're already doing way more than most in the developed world will ever even aspire to.

That is very nice!
