My name‘s Billy and I started keeping chickens last August. It’s the first time I’ve done it, and I’m having a blast. I have fourteen hens right now that I raised from chicks (they were 15 but one turned out to be a rooster and they‘re illegal where I live, unfortunately.) It’s a mixed flock with three each of Rhode Island Reds, Anconas, Olive Eggers (that I think are a cross of legbar and cuckoo maran), Ameraucanas, and two French Black Copper Marans. They’re funny little birds with interestingly distinct personalities and I greatly enjoy spending time with them everyday.
I’m also really into gardening.
BYC has been an invaluable resource for me as a beginner, and I’m glad to be here, thanks!
