Hello, we are a family of four with an extended family of 32 to include 1 Australian/German Shepherd, a white very independent cat 3 New Zealand rabbits and most importantly 27 chicks, which include 8 black aussies, 6 pullets and 2 cockerels, 6 rhodie reds, all pullets, 7 Tetra tint pullets and 2 bantams unknown breads. LOL. We hope to be sharing our progress as we go along with you all. I have raised chickens my whole life, mostly Cornish rocks. But this is a learning experience for my wife and children and also kind of for me as this is the first time i have had chickens in 10 years as I was in the army and then driving truck. It is wonderful to meet you all and we look forward to developing friendships, and helping others with their questions. Have a wonderful day, and happy chickening
