It started with 2 and now I have 8

[ChickiMama15]

I got my first chickens nearly a year after my husband bought our house. They were a few Buffs that were already already 2 years old I wasn't ready to start from scratch. Fast forward to a few years later I bought 6 little chicks from a local farm supply store (spring 2017) and now have 8 chickens. I started with Buffs (4 yo), and now have a Brahama, Jersey Giant, something coment, easter egger, and yeah, don't remember the others. I do know I just love the variety of hens in the backayard and I enjoy watching them throughout the day.

Started with 4 and now I have 6. That's not counting the ones that have passed away over the years and their replacements.

Started with one that I have found in a jogging then she suddenly replicated her self to 2, then 2 became 4 and they became 7 and now 9..!
