Hey everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Lauren. Me and my husband are both 28, live in central Alabama and have been married almost 5 years (together total of 10) and have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 4 ball pythons (also looking to get a leopard gecko and blue tongue skink shortly). We currently do not have any children but hope to change that in the very near future. We are also looking to add to our collection of animals and are wanting to get some chickens. We don't have any currently but wanted to learn everything we can before bringing any home. So far I think we will be getting 4-6. The breeds I am looking into are Australorp, Plymouth Rock, and Rhode Island Reds which seem to be the easiest for beginners per what I've read so far but I haven't made any final decisions yet. (side note - can you mix those breeds in a flock?) I'm eager to start my flock for fresh eggs and as a hobby! I know I have several friends, family and neighbors that will also enjoy the benefits of fresh eggs. I enjoy the lake, reading and spending time with family/friends. I am a home health physical therapist assistant and often have patients give me fresh eggs and I am excited to finally have my own! My husband is a full time 911 operator and also spends his "off" days as a Realtor. We both love animals and everyone always jokes we have our own zoo. I had a neighbor recommend this group after I asked in my neighborhood FB group questions about chickens. I joined to learn as much as I can before we add to our zoo and so I can get good tips, tricks and advice.
and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.
to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!
