Hello!

[Kimberly Longley]

Hi my name is Kim, I got my first three chicks in May and am loving learning about them and all the joy they have brought me. I currently have two black australorps as we lost our austra white a few months back. I am taking in two barred rocks in a few days and am a little nervous about integration. My girls have yet to lay and I am unsure if the two new ones are laying yet. Mine hatched on May 20th and the two BR's hatched on August 14th. Any advice you can give would be appreciated. Thank you for letting me join your community! Your posts have helped me greatly in this process and I look forward to being a part of your community!
