Hi everyone!!! I am a stay at home mom of 7 wonderful kids and now 55 chickens! Yep I have the fever! I just wandered into the Tractor Supply Store to buy my 14 month old son a baby chick to play with. I had to buy 6 ( store policy ) Soooooo I am thinking ok. Kids will play with 'em for a few days and I will pass them on to a friend who raises chickens. I reasearched a little on these pullets I had bought. I am thinking, this would be neat to keep and have a few eggs every now and then. SOooo long story short, I have a trio of white silkies ( for pretty) and a trio of Silver Duckwing Bantams ( they are my babies) Leghorns ( a roo and 5 hens) Barred Rock ( 2 roos and about 7 hens) Some silver laced Wyandottes, some RIR and cornish and now an incubator with about 20 various eggs waiting to hatch next week!!!! I am enjoying this new 'way of life' and it is rewarding!!! Who knew chickens could be so much fun????

I love the info I have gotten from BYC and love the forums!!! Hope to cluck with yall soon!!
