Hey everyone

[FlynnFlock]

Hey everyone, my name is Mary. I visit this site all the time to get my chicken raising questions answered, so I figured it was about time that I actually joined
I’ve only had my feathered babies for about 9 months, I’m still super new to the whole thing so I’m always asking questions and looking for advice.

I’m engaged and planning a June wedding. My Fiancé and I live with an American Bulldog, 5 cats and our 5 chickens in a small southern Kentucky town. (we have a happy little home)
We have 3 hens (Dottie, Kit, and Chip) and 2 roosters (Red, and Lou) who we thought were actually Lucy and Red... until they started crowing ‍ LoL but I love my roosters.

I hope to be welcomed here, and I’m looking forward to becoming apart of the back yard chicken family.

Glad you're here Mary!

If you haven't yet, please make your poultry a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise.
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!
