Hi, my name is Kirsty and I've finally decided that it's the right time for me to look into getting chickens of my own. I haven't owned any chickens before, so this is completely new to me, and I'd still like to do some more intensive research. That's how I found out about this website, and I'll admit, I don't think I've ever signed up for a website faster than I did today!

I live in an urban area with my parents and siblings (ranging from 21 to 11). We do also have a cat, but he's pretty stupid and lazy, I doubt he'd be much of a hassle to chickens once he realizes they're not interested in him.

I work part time at the moment, and I'm a full time college student (with a few days off during the week). I've got a nice, steady income and a lot of free time, so I guess now is as good a time as any to get chickens!
