Hi! I'm new to to this site and thought I'd do an intro. I've had chickens for about 3 years. I started hatching them in my classroom 3 years ago and and fell in love. I have since left the classroom to be an Educational Diagnostician but I still have my chickens. I have 3 currently. We just added 2 more yesterday because one of our original hens passed away. I have 2, 7 week old Buff Orpingtons and 1 cross bred Red Sex Link and Rhode Island Red. I found this site while doing some chicken research and it has a lot of information and helpful people. When I'm not chasing chickens I enjoy reading, movies, musicals/theatre, stitching, gardening, and traveling . I am married and it will be 7 years this August. We are big animal lovers and have lots of fur babies. We have 2 cats and 2 guinea pigs. No human babies. My husband works for Child Protective Services so we both spend a lot of our time with children all day. It is nice to come home to our animals. Thanks for listening! ☺
