I’ve already asked a question, but today I had a moment to introduce myself. I am new to chickens, though I’ve wanted them for years (we have lived on 10 acres for three and a half years... it was more than time to get with the program). We had a friend give us 8 hens (5 Rhode Island Reds, 1 Buff Orpinton, and 2 Silkes.) I think at some point I would be up for getting more or getting a rooster and trying to hatch some. We have 5 daughters and homeschool the 4 youngest. We also have 3 dogs, a cat, and a fish... so our life is pretty busy. The chickens seem to be fitting in well to the chaos, especially now that they come when called.
I think one of the template questions asked what is the best thing about chickens? I’d say the eggs, of course. But- here lately I think it’s really cute how they sunbathe in the afternoon. All sprawled out but stay in a group. Then they chatter to each other... it’s like a bunch of women sitting by the pool.
And I’m glad to be here. You all were sooo helpful with training the chickens to come when called. I was getting very stressed that my kids were freaking out so bad every time we left the house and the chickens weren’t all in the coop.

Glad you joined.
Best wishes and have lots of FUN! 
We are glad you joined this flock!
