Aloha, I am a wife and mom. I have 3 kids ages 21, 18 and 12.. I have been married for 20 years on Halloween.. We just bought our first home with 2 1/2 acres of land.. We rented for 20 years so it is so nice to have a home and land to do with what you want.. We have 10 pets all together not counting the chicks. We have (1 Male Long-eared American Rabbit) (6 Female Guinea Pigs, and 2 Male Guinea Pigs) (1 Male Shitzoodle)... I no longer work as my youngest is being home school this year... I think that's everything about me and can't wait to meet all of you...

Hello Good morning and Welcome !

I am so Happy for you that you have your very own space to do with as you will ! I hope you enjoy this space as much as I do ! I am also working as hard as I can to eventually live as much of a homesteading life style as I possibly can. I only got my new forever home a year ago .. That I can make these plans.. and boy is everything expensive and so much work to start.. So slow and steady for me .. It was very nice meeting you and I hope to see you around ! Enjoy those new chicks !

Welcome from Northeastern Pennsylvania. I am new to chickens too. Isn't it funny how everytime you google for information about chickens you keep getting directed to this site? That's how I ended up here too!
