I started my first small flock of chickens last spring. I started with 8, 7 hens and a roo. Just farm store breeds, Isa Browns and Easter Eggers. Over the winter, I accumulated a few more, Ameraucana. I'm in love with Ameraucana! And their blue eggs!!! This spring I decided to try to sell eggs. So I got 23 more chicks, how many of which I'm not positive might be boys. They should start laying the end of July! :) I went with a variety of breeds to try to get a rainbow egg basket to sell!
 
Welcome to BYC! :frow We are glad you joined our coop!
This video will help you learn your way around this site.
Get settled in and then share some pictures of your flock!
 
Hahaha! I hear ya! Once you start, you just can't stop! How many chickens are to many chickens??? I was only planning on getting 10 chicks this spring....somehow I ended up with 23....him, I still haven't figured out how I did that. My husband says "where in the heck are we gonna put all these chickens, have you thought of that?" Oops, I skipped that step!

My Broody hen hatched chick #1 of two eggs today! My first hatch ever!!! I've only gotten baby chicks before from the store. I was going to let her do everything and be with the other adults, but my husband thinks the tall ramp to the coop is a problem for the babies. Plus my chickens drink out of a nipple waterer.
