Hi, my name is Stacie and I was introduced to chickens three and a half years ago when I met my fiancé. We have thirteen of varying breeds, all hens except for our Lavender Orpington. That one is in question... When I moved in, he had three...we added some, we lost some, and I've become the crazy chicken lady. I MUST have one in every color. LOL In addition to keeping chickens, I also like garden. People also tell me I'm a pain in the butt too, but what do they know. Glad to be on the forum!
