Hello :)

Hi,
My name is mike, i have raised hundreds of chickens as a kid mostly seabrights and rhode island reds. My family now, my wife and 5 children decided to get some chicks this spring. We ended up with 23 chicks (we lost one the second day) and they are different breeds because i let my kiddos each choose one breed that they liked. Most are cochins which i love anyways. We have light brahmas, buff and blue cochin bantams, partrige cochins, black and white polish, rhode island reds, and buff brahma cochins. They are just a couple weeks old now and doing great!

Thanks a ton! I will add some pictures as soon as i figure out how to. We love our chickens and they wil be kept as pets and eggs will be a plus. We also live in a community where farming is a major part of the economy so we have lots of friends willing to take on any extra chicks we have later on down the road.
