Hey!
My husband and I are in the N. Alabama area. I grew up with commercial poultry houses so I've been around chickens my whole life. We got our first got chickens about 10 years ago, moved them to the country with us, immediately lost all of them to predators and dogs (heartbroken) and didn't have any for a long time. The in-laws, with our permission, gave the kids 4 leghorn chicks 2 years ago that have been in a chicken tractor since and I hate it. I finally talked my other half into a bigger coop and a run so I can love on some chickens again. We have a couple each of some Marans and Bielefelder, one blue/lavender orpington baby, and some EE barnyard mixes on the way! Our kids are 3 & 6, so they are very excited to have chickens they can pet.
