Hey y’all!

[Halevb]

My name is Beth, I’m a 21 year old nursing student with a slight chicken obsession. My mom always had chickens growing up so about this time last year the hubby and I decided fresh eggs would be a lovely idea. It all started with a box of 15 little fluff balls and quickly spiraled out of control from there. A mere year and a half later after a few tragic run ins with predators, one mean rooster, a broody hen, and many unsupervised trips to the feed store we have a beautiful rainbow flock of 70 birds. My girls are a nice mix of good layers, pretty colors (pretty eggs too), feathered feet, polish crests and a few bantams. I can’t wait to see what I can learn from everyone here!

Hi Beth, it's nice to have you here! What breed of chickens are you raising?

Good morning, Beth, and welcome to BYC. Yep, that's a 'slight' chicken obsession.

I think I’ve finally realized enough is enough

"Just one more."

"Just one more."

The last time I used that one was yesterday when I brought home 10 more... so you’re right, I’m probably lying
