I've been reading on the site for a little bit but just joined. I'm a new chicken mom, 2 1/2 weeks. I have 2 buff cochins, 2 true green whitings, and 2 blue andalusians. My family is in the process of building a family homestead and the chickens will fit right in. I also have a lazy dog and a cat that thinks she's a dog. Im looking forward to learning a lot of new things here! My hobbies outside of "chicken farming" are pottery, walking, and reading.
