Salutations everyone! I have heard about this site quite a while ago from Michigan Sportsman.com and finally have a reason to join up. I've got two chickens and a rooster and one of our hens is sitting tight on her nest. I recently had heard that the rooster may kill any new chicks. After a little research on here and elsewhere, I believe that may not necessarily be the case and guess I will just wait and see.
I live in the middle of the mitten (kind of) and have had these chickens for almost a year. We started out with about 10 and some "escaped" and a few others came up "missing" until we had no chickens. I inherited two hens from my brother and later inherited a rooster from somewhere else, thus my chicken farm.
I enjoy these goofy birds and hope to have them around for a while!
I also hope to glean much information you this site. Just wish I had joined sooner!
