Hi from Holly and Ivy and their new Mom and Dad in NH!

[NHChicksHollynIvy]

So—hubby and I have decided to try something new in our old(er) age. Our farm friends up the road a piece started a franchise with “Rent-the-chicken” just this spring. Hubby and I have talked for years about building a chicken coop and getting chickens but we were too (groan) chicken to take the plunge.

When our friend told us about this opportunity we figured this might be a good way to see if we are cut out to be chicken farmers. What is the term for that anyhow?

Well Holly and Ivy (my names for them) arrived two days ago it was love at first sight! Looking forward to getting to know all of you and lots more about how to keep Holly and Ivy happy!

Welcome to BYC! Hopefully you’ll love your chickens enough to keep them!!!

I am told I can buy the coop and the hens at the end of the season if I want to do that. Pretty excited!

 

[TheYLWFlock]

Yeah! If you do decide to buy them, I would build a better coop and maybe get a couple more of them!

...cut out to be chicken farmers. What is the term for that anyhow?...

Forgot about this one! Maybe “chicken raisers” “crazy chicken people” “those weird farmers from down the street”... that kinda stuff!

I actually don’t know the technical term for it!
