I have been skulking around BYC for a couple of months now. I am Becki and I have had chickens since I bought 6 chicks in the Spring, 2013. They were 2 RIR, 2 Auracanas and 2 "gray" sex linked hens. I have one RI red left from that flock, her name is Beatrice. Our 5 yr. old papillon, Francesca fatally injured four of the other chicks on two separate occasions. #5 disappeared without as much as a feather of evidence left behind. So Beatrice is a special hen. My current avatar is a shot of her as a pullet.
I added 5 red sex linked hens to the coop so Beatrice could have peeps. Just this past month I decided to pursue a rooster adoption.

I was successful. Still unsure of his breed, he is a good shepherd and not aggressive. Although my partner tells me the rooster is still young and subject to personality shift?? I think he's wrong and the rooster just has a nice temperament.
I also procured two EE hens. One is laying and the other a pullet. Pidge the pullet is like a child. She follows me everywhere, jumps on my shoulder when I open the coop, waits for me to hand feed/water her. I see a chicken diaper in my future. No, seriously!
Chickens bring a certain calm to my life. I need to be careful as I seem to want more as my coop grows in size and color.
I look forward to being a part of BYC.
