Hi, new hatchling here from NJ

[CarpCharacin]

How many koi do you have? Do you have a pond? I have a 1500 gallon pond with goldfish and koi, and my custom user title here is Cyprinus carpio, the scientific name for koi and common carp.

Hello there! Welcome to BYC. We're always happy to have a new flock member!
Your life sounds exciting with 40 chickens lol!!! How do you manage so many? It actually may not be a lot to the regular farmer, but I live in a neighborhood with 3 chickens lmao!

I love my two Australorps, one just started laying the other day. I have been wanting to try some RIRs. How are they to take care of? Like any other chicken? By the way, welcome home to BYC..

Also, beautiful headgear on your avatar. My baby girl(18) would love the colors/patterns.
