Hi My name is Nancy I live close to Marietta Pa I just started raising chickens last years. I started with 3 Hyline browns and 18 assorted chicks from an auction. Well almost a year later I have 3 Hyline browns who are so affectionate you would think they are puppies. and one EE who wants nothing to do with anyone or anything but the nestbox. Turns out 17 from the auction were roos. They were all beautiful birds but I am sure the neighbors didnt care for the crowing at 430 in the morning. I have been lurking on the site for over a year now and though I would jump in here and introduce myself. This site has been invaluable to me. I want to thank all of you who post it has really made this an enjoyable endeavor. I am interested in adding a few Welsummers and silkies this year. Any advice on these birds and where to buy them would be great.
