I have been reading a lot of information on here and thought it was about time to join. We have 6 chickens, 1 Buff Orpington, 1 Rhode Island Red, 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Black Star, and 1 that we were told was a Cherry Egger. They are all about 5 1/2 months old now and most are laying. No problems so far but it's nice to know there's a place to come if there are any issues.
