Hey everyone! My name is Desiree and I have a friend who inspired me to pull the trigger on buying my first four chicks last night! I now own a light brahma, a buff orphington, a barred rock, and an Easter egger! I'm excited to start this adventure with these sweet chicks, and my kids and husband are already in love with them. Can't wait to learn from all of you!
