The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!
 
Greetings and welcome to BYC Brandi! So glad you joined us. Very nice of you to take on additional children above & beyond your own. I'm sure there's a good reason, but it has to stress you. And that on top of moving to a new location. So more chickens equals more therapy, right? :thumbsup I hope you can get the medical issues addressed and taken care of. There's a wealth of info, knowledge and experience shared in the multitude of threads. Browse around and see what interesting stuff you can find. By all means post away when the desire strikes you, especially if you have questions (provide as much detail/info as possible and pictures truly help)... With all the great folks here, generally someone will respond in no time at all. Please make yourself at home!

Oh, if you haven't done so already, PLEASE put at least your general location in your profile. It could be very important if/when you ask for or offer help or advice. You know, climate issues and such. Old folks like me :old will never remember & look there first. To add it, mouse hover over Account top right and a drop down will appear. Click on Personal Details and scan down. You'll see the spot for Location. Then go to the bottom and save changes. Thanks! Hope you enjoy the site!
 
G’Day from down under Brandi.... :frow Welcome!

(1) I have had my chickens for a year in March, I keep them for eggs and they help me to destress.

(2) I have 14 chickens at the moment but with chick season starting chicken math is looking to kill me!

(3) I have 2 Jersey Giant hens named Sexy Sue & Bow, 2 Barred Rock hens named Shadow & Marcelle, 3 Easter Egger of some type hens named Tweety, Chocolate, & Stripey, 1 Speckled Sussex hen named Rain, 1 Gold Laced Wyandotte hen named Kylo Hen, 3 Rhode Island hens named Caramel, Dandelion, & Pollo and 2 mutt roos named Crickatwo & HeiHei.
I have to get rid of my one roo because their wearing my hens bald :(

(4) I love to garden, sew, bake, spend time watching my chickens, fish, camp and I weave baskets.

(5) I have a wonderful 10 year old daughter. I've recently moved back to Pennsylvania. At the moment I am a stay at home mom because of medical problems and my chickens are a type of therapy. I am also raising my cousins 4 children ages 13, 11, 9 and 8 all 5 children adore the chickens and their eggs lol and have named them crazy names. We also have 2 dogs Sophie and Paisley that are wonderful with the chickens, 4 cats Alice, Greta, Cassie, & Darlin'.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens Brandi you fit right in
 
:welcome:celebrate

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
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. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)
 
Welcome to BYC...you've come to a great site with lots of friendly people and lots of helpful information. I had the same problem with my two roos...had to buy chicken saddles for my girls. Their feathers finally came back and then I made the decision to remove the boys from the coop, so they just run around all day watching over the girls through a fence.
 
Hi Brandi and welcome to BYC :frow We're so happy you've decided to join us:ya
Has anyone mentioned that we've been accused of being enablers? Just think, if you got 20 more hens there would be plenty for the two roos to share... ;)
