Hello from Virginia

[1idrod]

Just wanted to say hello. I've been doing a lot of reading here. Unexpectedly my sister in Texas sent me a 50/50 mix of 25 RIR peeps through the mail, so I took what she thought was gonna be a prank for my birthday and ran with it.

Well Happy Birthday!

Does your sister like you? Practical jokes involving living animals are not funny. I'm glad you are going to "run with it." Welcome to Backyard chickens. We're on your side.

Wow, what a strange "prank". I live in VA too! Welcome!
