Hello. I want to say hi to everyone on byc and introduce myself. I have a small flock of 14 chickens. I have 8 rhode island reds, 2 double-laced barnevelders, 2 barred rock, and 2 buff orpingtons. I have had chickens for about 6 years. I am also an animal geek. I want to thank everyone from byc for making this a very helpful website I learn something new every time I'm on.
