Hi!! So we have just started in chickens and it has been quite exciting. Started with a hen and rooster Lavender ameraucana and have since expanded with 5 silkie hens, 2 light brahmas and a Wheatan Ameraucana. The rooster was quite a problem so he has found a great home and we will stick with the girls for now. Learning about natural care is important as well as simple housing arrangements. Haven't had chickens since I was a kid. So it's like learning all over again!! We also have two alpine goats who share space. All seem to be quite happy!! I am so glad to have found this site for guidance and support through our new adventure!!
