My name is Jennifer, I'm 48 with 3 daughter (28,25 &17) Been Married for 30 yrs this July.
I'm from Mississippi ( Heart of the Delta & home of the Blues )
I thought I go on and say hey since I been a stalker off and on since 2012.
I guess that's the year I first got into wanting backyard chickens. I started off
with 8 "pretty little liars"
7 Rhode Island Reds 1 polish something!
As of the first of the year we were down to 3 Rhode Island Reds and there laying has
grown slim/none. So I debated did I want to add more or take a break.. Well take a guess...
Over the last month I have bought the following
Breed Current age
3-Buff Orpington's 7 weeks
3-Red Sex Links 7 weeks
3-Golden Wyandotte 4 weeks
6- Easter Eggers 3/2 weeks
2- Cooper Marans 3 weeks
3- Welsummer Marans 1.5/2 weeks
2- Delaware's 1.5/2 weeks
2- Barred Rocks 3 weeks
Yep I went Chicken crazy
Husband hasn't realized yet I got 7 more 2 days ago!!
So I actually have 3 different brooders. The oldest though are off the heat lamp.
Can't wait til the day they will all be one flock! Bite my tongue
because you and I know there will be some kind of Drama when it comes to girls 
As for my set up we took my husband's old shed and turned it into coop. We have a quarter acre fenced in around the coop ( i think its 12'x12' ) that we can close in case company or my oldest daughters visit with there dogs. But mostly they free range the entire fenced in back yard which is a solid acre.
Making the shed to a coop is how I found backyard chickens. I goggled about chicken coops and came across this site.
Well I rambled enough..
Good day all!
