Hey everyone! I have used this form a few times not as a member but have loved the info I came across so I decided to join and see if I can give back a little! I have a small 5 acre hobby farm that was in pretty rough shape when we bought it. We are working to revitalize everything and I post updates along with other valuable information on my blog, www{dot}longbournfarm{dot}com. I just got my hens this spring and LOVE them. I knew I would like having them, but I had no idea that I would become addicted to having chickens, ha! Again, love this site. Great information! {Pictured is one of my favorite hens, Stella.}
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. A lot of us were lurkers before joining. ) Stella is a beautiful Black Sex Link (Black Star) hen. Thanks for posting her pic. Black Sex Links are my favorites. I raised them for years and they are very friendly and hardy egg laying machines. I posted a pic of my favorite one below. If you haven't done so already, definitely check out our Learning Center at https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center. There is lots of useful information there. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Cheers.
