Hello all,
I grew up with a small flock always around, but after getting married, we lived the apartment life. Also my work always kept me moving so we never thought of chckens. 19 years later, we bought a couple of acres of land and a house so I introduced my family to the joys of poultry. We are starting a with a smaller flock, 2 buff orp, 2 spotted sux, 2 barred rocks, and 3 Easter eggers one being a roo. Sadly one of my buffs passed, but the rest are almost 4weeks old. The ugly stage. My wife really enjoys playing with them as do our 3 teenaged sons. Sadly our golden retriever thinks they are squeaky toys... Thus the buff incident. She is getting better though and our outdoor brooder is much more secure now.
Funny thing is my wife wants some bantams now because of what she has read about them. I told her baby steps..lol.
Anyhow that's my story
