I think I am addicted to chickens 🐔

[Crazy_chix_lady]

I first got chickens last year. My SIL gave me 8...5 bantam brahma hens, 1 buff orpington, 2 bantam cochin roosters. I rehomed 1 of the roosters though. Now I have the original 7 as well as 20 standard cochin chicks, 3 turkeys, 3 muscovy ducks, 2 starlight green eggers and just added 2 cinnamon queens and a polish chick.
I raise my birds as pets that also feed my family. I am working to create a self sustaining flock of cochins and turkeys.
I also have a pit bull, snake, guinea pig, 3 horses, and a cockatiel.
Thankfully my husband and 2 daughters are supportive of my crazy chicken hobby.
I am a disabled stay at home mom/housewife.
I found BYC through Google as well as Facebook .
