Hello!

[OneAndTwoOfFour]

Greetings! My family and I recently purchased a farmstead. It came complete with a nice little flock of chickens, and a Guinea Hen. I realize it's not exactly a "backyard" chicken flock, but we're hoping to learn along with y'all. We've added 46 chicks, who are almost ready to join their free range elders. Anyway, our name "OneAndTwoOfFour" comes from the way the chickens seem to greet us. I get a "Buck...BuckBuckBuckBuck" from the chickens when I show up, and she gets "BuckBuck...BuckBuckBuckBuck." Goofy and weird, I know, but hey, we're addicted to chickens, so don't judge too harshly!
