hi all. I just joined BYC and am new to chicken raising. I am a sahm with 3 boys, a dog and cat and just thought I'd throw some chickens in the mix because i don't have enough to do, lol. I am starting out with seven hens (fingers crossed) and am awaiting my coop this week. I have 2 barred rock and one each of buff o, speckled Sussex, lt brahma, Easter egger & cinn. Queen. My girls are seven weeks old with exception of the EE she's nine. I look forward to learning from all of you and hearing your stories. Thanks for having me. Lenore
