We have been chicken owners for about a week now. We have 2 hens that were given to us. The first day we got one egg and have had two eggs a day since (but one day we only got one egg). They are so fun! I am enjoying it.
We live in the city so we will not be able to have a huge flock, but maybe 6-8. My mother and I built our coop and we really like it. When I can post pictures, I will show you. We have some eggs that were given to us that should hatch on the 3rd. We had planned to just get chicks and raise them, but once the coop was finished we got too impatient, so we got the two hens.
I have been reading tons, but am still very clueless. Many years ago I used to breed and show cockatiels and had 30. This is quite a bit different lol.
I am married and have 7 children (4 biolgical and 3 adopted), my oldest is married and has a baby (will be 1 on feb 3rd) and my baby is 5. We have 2 dogs, 2 bunnies, and a cat, oh and a python (my 10 yr old sons, ewwweee).
I am really enjoying the chickens, we sit outside and watch them some days. They are fun. These are not really tame, but will let you hold them if neccessary.
Looking foward to learning with you all!
I can add pictures!
Here is the coop we made: (It is bigger than it looks. It is 12 ft long by 4ft wide) We will move it once a week
Here is Pamela
Which I have been told is a EE)
Here is Gertrude: (still not sure what she is)
