Hello, new to the world of raising chickens

[David Morgan]

Hello y'all,
My wife and I got our first of hopefully many more chickens. We got a Roster and Hen, black Bantam Cochins. John & June, my wife names everything even the possums that steal the cat food like John Henry. We live outside Emory, Texas. I am looking forward to learning as much as I can. I have gained some great ideas from this site. Thanks for Having us.

Hi David and Gloria

Glad you could join the flock! Congratulations on your new chickens I'm sure you will enjoy this new venture very much, they are fab to keep and lots of fun too. I'm sure John & June would really appreciate some more flock members. One roo can easily handle 10 hens on his own. Adding some more hens would make it easier for June too so he does not over breed her and cause her any damage. Be sure to ask any questions, everyone here to help and very friendly.

Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat

Lastly but by no means least, the members here are amazing - very friendly and helpful, so if you need an answer to a question or simply want some reassurance that what you are doing is ok, then post away - we all help each other out here at BYC.
