Hi everyone! I'm Rachel from Greene County NY. I got into chickens by chance one day when a friend called and asked if I wanted a rooster from a barn near her house. She said they were trying to starve him out and didn't want him anymore. Of course I said yes... I'm a sucker for a critter in need... even though I knew nothing about owning chickens! He was a sweet old Leghorn With a gimpy frostbitten foot and I just loved him. Not wanting him to be lonely I went out the next day and got him 3 hens (still not knowing anything about owning chickens!) And he perked right up! Well that was about a year ago and Ol' Bill my leghorn has since passed away, but I've been collecting chickens (and knowledge about owning them!) Since then, and I absolutely love it! I still have lots to learn so I'm hoping all y'all can help me along the way!
