Hi, it's nice to have you here! What breed(s) of chickens do you have?

I’m very new to chicken keeping but have always had animals in the household. .....and ALWAYS get so upset when one dies. Ok, I’m talking of dogs here, BUT, I’ve quickly adjusted to a feathered friend after my OH badgering me for years to get chickens
