I'm new here...but I'll be here often.

[Newchickmama73]

To begin...I am Lorie. I ended up getting my chickies when a couple up the road divorced and abandoned these babies. I foster animals anyway... No way was I going to slow these critters to go hungry. So now I'm the proud parent of young chickens. One rooster. And 13 new babies.
I have 5 dogs. 2 cats. 20 chickens total. Live in Virginia

Hello, Lorie, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
It's sad how people can just abandon their pets like that. Thank you for taking them in and giving them a great home.
