Hello

[SMurlot]

Hi, my husband and I recently purchased 1.5 acres in rural Wisconsin and now have six Bielefelder chicks, five hens and one rooster. We plan on getting more chickens and are really looking forward to fresh eggs!

Welcome to the flock here at BYC! Mine just started producing this week finally, so I hear ya there. We still haven't eaten any as we are a bunch of veganish hippies here, but the dogs are thrilled.

-------edit-------
loads of hippies just scramble them and feed them back to their flocks, but for us they are paying their protection money back to the guard dogs that keep them safe.

Welcome to byc! I wish I lived in rural Wisconsin with 1.5 acres(though I’d want more animals) but instead I’m stuck in the suburbs of New England with a small(less than an acre of mostly woods) plot of land and 6 hens

Off topic, as well, but I always picture hippies living in Colorado for some reason.

Lol, I consider myself a hippie and we live in Massachusetts!

 

[HeyHeyWW]

WELCOME! You're gonna find a lot of new information about chickens. I hope you have a lot of fun in BYC!

Well then, I guess hippies can live anywhere. I’m probably just clueless. It’s nice to know you, hippie from MA. I used to live in Hudson, MA in the late 60’s. I’m an Army brat. I’ve lived in a bunch of other states too: GA, AK, AZ, OK, and now AL. “I’ve been every where, man...” I digress!
