Hi every1

[mamabear413]

I am so glad I found this site!! There r so many helpful tips, great information and a lot of very smart, friendly people with a wealth of knowledge about chickens on here!! I have 5 children & a son n law and I married my high school sweetheart. We have rescued 3 BEAUTIFUL dogs, 1 cat, 4 bunnies , my oldest daughter has 2 going on 3 horses &2 goats, we also just lost our 1 Angel fish that suddenly passed away and now we have added 6 baby chickens & lots of questions about raising them. We stay busy with our "mini farm" and we do a lot of volunteer work & we love anything outdoors especially camping, horseback riding, 4 wheelers, boating, hiking, gardening, laying under the stars spotting fallen stars, & photography. Thank y'all n advance for all the great advice!! Have a blessed day!
