My name is Mo (nickname that stuck with me since childhood) and I live in Missouri with my husband, my son (graduating HS this May then off to college), 3 dogs, 3 cats and whatever rescue I happen to have at the time. My 2 girls are already out on their own so what's a mom to do when faced with the last chick leaving the nest...... get new ones right??
I have been reading/learning for the last few weeks and just got my first chicks tonight. We decided on Golden Laced Wyondotettes, Partridge Cochins and 2 silkies. Research gave us our direction breed wise, but the feed store got final say based on what stock they had on hand as well as our not wanting to wait a month for special ordering. We got the breeds we wanted if not the exact colors.
I'm sure I will have tons of questions (like what is up with the poopy butts???) but for now think Im off to a fine start. Thanks for being here so we are not starting alone.
