Hi folks, New to BYC. :)

[RmB]

Good morning, what a great site! First/second time posting and I have a lot of questions lol. I decided to get a few chicks a few months ago. Mainly for egg purposes. (They are getting way to expensive in the stores here). I have several different breeds at different ages. The first lot of chicks I got back in June. 2 Red Sex-Link. 2 New Hampshire Crosses, 1 Rhode Island Red, 1 broiler gal and a Columbian Rock rooster. All are doing great. About 3 weeks ago I got a few more. (More than what I originally was gonna get lol) 2 Barred Rock, 2 Leg-Horn, and a Houdan. I also acquired 3 little Silkies. I'm learning a lot..fast. Thank goodness my husband has had chickens in the past Oh! we also have 2 beautiful Call Ducks.. Pip and Peaches, 4 beautiful (always shedding) Siberian huskies and 2 really affectionate cats ( well 1 is anyways haha)

Good morning, and
If it's chicken, it's likely here. If you don't find it, just ask.
