Hello! I'm new to chicken-ing and I heard this website could be a great resource. So here I am!
A week and a half ago, I picked up 4 chicks, and then 3 more. And then the next day I came home with another 1.... and then 1 died a week later ( not sure why), so then I brought home 2 more... I heard this is called "Chicken Math" haha. Currently we have 9 chickys and they are SO CUTE!
We have:
2 Gold Star, 2 Americauna/ Easter Egger (black coloring currently), 1 Americana/ Easter Egger (a mix of colors - gold-ish, brown stripe, really pretty), 1 Rhode Island Red (had two... but one decided our home was not suitable),1 Buff Orpington, 1 Red Rock Cross, 1 Red Sussex Cross.
So far my favorite part is walking into the garage and saying "Hi Chick-Chick-CHICKENS! How are you all doing?!" We are only a week and a half into this adventure, so everything is still new and exciting.
Some of my other hobbies involve making bread, line dancing, 'window' shopping (online), coming up with crazy ideas to do around the house, and hanging out with my toddler. We have 2 dogs that JUST TODAY realized we have chickens. One dog seems very intrigured and the other seems a little more 'meh' about them. I hope the excited dog can realize these are FRIENDS, NOT FOOD (yet).
I heard about this community from the lady I stood next to in line to pick out the chicks a week ago.
