Hello

[Mayas Garden]

I've raised chickens before but took a break last year while I was in a Master Gardener course. I shared the hens I had with people who had more time than I did so they would get the attention they deserved. I've reserved 4 Australorp hens at our local hatchery and will pick them up February 19. I'm glad to have a resource to help me settle them into life in our little corner of the world.

Welcome to BYC!

Glad to have another garden lover in the chicken community. There are many reasons I got into keeping chickens but fertilizer and pest control for my organic garden was definitely one of them!
