A year ago I mentioned chickens to my husband and he thought I was crazy. Six months ago, I talked him into it and it's been a pretty cool experience. I had chickens as a kid for a few years but didn't really have the experience, seeing as my parents did all the work! Tractor Supply was having their Chick Days, we went, and I convinced him! We can't have a rooster so we stuck to the pullets vs. the straight run. I had a few scares thinking we had a couple of roosters because of their coloring but ended up with 6 beautiful Barred Rock hens! We got our first egg when the hens turned 16 weeks and within a month they were all laying! They are now about 26 weeks. Well, Tractor Supply had another Chick Days! We now have 6 more, what I hope are also all pullets, that are 6 weeks old. They had a variety this time. We now also have 2 Isa browns, 2 Silver laced Wyandottes, and 2 White Leghorns. I am maxed out which is unfortunate because if I could I would have many more! My kids love their chickens and I love the experience they're getting! My husband even likes them, but now he refers to me as, "the crazy chicken lady"!
 
G’Day from down under chicken_chicken :frow Welcome!

My hubby was a little nonchalant about the whole chicken thing but he now loves them as much as I do and refers to his favourite as "his chicken".

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out ;)
 
:welcome

Chickens have a way of making friends with most everyone that comes in contact with them (guess your DH found that out, lol).

Best of luck to you and thanks for joining us!
