Hello everyone. I am a granny with 3 children, 3 grandchildren and 5 step-grandchildren. My youngest, Mark, lives in Carrollton Dallas with his wife Bethany and son Jacob who is 7 years old. My two married daughters both live in England.

I have a Staffy Bull Terrier named Milo, a Crested Gecko named Feebee and a baby Oranda fish simply named Bob.

I have 3 Light Sussex Hens which I got in April this year to add to my original flock after my 3 year old Columbian Blacktail Lacey passed away to some unknown ailment.

My husband enlarged the run doubling the size for the 5 girls but unfortunately the other 2 original girls, an Amber named Belinda (Avatar) and my gorgeous French Maran Cooky Monster passed away within 2 weeks of each other to the same ailment.

So I am left with just the 3 new girls now with lots of room. They stay in their run all morning and then free range in the garden til early evening. They are gorgeous pretty faced birds (as much as chickens can be pretty) and they lay the most yummy scrummy eggs every day.
 
Hi :welcome from Yorkshire UK

Glad you could join the flock! Sorry to hear you have lost your original girls :hugs You have a great mix of animals there that must keep you very busy indeed. Have you checked out the UK thread? I'm sure there are other members on there near to you. The link is my signature for you to drop by.

Wishing you the very best of luck with your new girls in the future. Enjoy BYC :frow
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. Raising chickens is a wonderful experience for children. Our children and granddaughter (pictured in my avatar) loved our chickens and made lap pets of the calmer and more gentle breeds. If you haven't done so already, definitely our Learning Center at https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center. There is loads of useful information there. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.

Hi, welcome to BYC!

I'm sorry about the loss of your 2 older girls, it's never easy losing them. I hope your new girls bring you lots of entertainment.

It's nice to have you here!
