Hi everyone! My name is Jodi and I live near Canton, Ohio. We have 5 adult children, youngest is 20 and still lives at home. The other 4 are married, so we also have 3 amazing DIL and one SIL. So HUGE crazy family here. I’ve never had chickens before, but I’ve wanted chickens for years. When we would drive around and I see people with chickens I’d go nuts and say “Chickens….we need chickens”, to which my husband would reply, “no we don’t”. This spring I decided I wanted to do a small raised bed vegetable garden for the first time ever. So more and more I would be joking “we are practically farmers, we should get chickens.” So after a couple of months of sharing the positives, and downright chicken talk, and our neighbors selling a coop they had used as a bunny hut, a prebuilt one from TSC, for $100, we got our chickens in June of this year (2022) and they are approximately 11 weeks old. We have 6 girls, 4 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Gold Laced Wyandottes. They are so stinkin’ cute. We live in an area where there are suburbs behind us, and several farms a mile up the road. Our property isn’t huge so the girls have a small coop that sits inside of a larger run. Someday I hope to build them a better coop. I think they will eventually need something bigger, after recently seeing a silver laced Wyandotte at the Columbus zoo, she was HUGE!! We love just sitting outside and watching the girls be goofballs in their run. We especially think it’s hilarious when they “go toe to toe”. One will run up to another and get in her face and puff up her feathers and they do this head Bob thing. And then they just go play together. Hahaha. Anyway. We are loving our girls, and my husband is Gaga over our girls. Found this site from Pinterest for an issue we had happen recently.
