Hello from Washington

[ElevatorGrl]

Hi everyone!! Just joined after stalking you all for a while - Google likes to show your conversations! I live about an hour outside of Seattle, and have a whopping (for me) 17 chickens right now. It started with six chicks last April, lost two, rescued four, then rescued three more, and lost another two. My nine “big girls” are doing well. Since it is chick season, I picked up eight more last week. The “little girls” are hanging in the brooder and enjoying themselves. In total, I have three RIRs, two Golden Laced Wyandotte’s, one Buff Orpington, four Easter Eggers, four white leghorns, two Blue Andalusians, and a leghorn cross.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens, 17 chickens is a good start + 8 chicks makes it even better.
