My "farm" house

[attie707]

Hi everyone, my parents have had chickens when I was little. When I bought my own place; I decided I have to give the same experience to my children. My own eggs that I know where it comes from adds to the benefit.

(1) Been having chickens now for around 5 years.

(2) 5 point of lay hens, one pair of cook-cook with 5 chicks?

(3) Point-of-Lay and Cook-cook

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? Google

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Fishing and small scale fruit-trees

(6) Working as a network engineer and with 2 small kids; life is rather busy

Glad to meet you! This place is a WEALTH of knowledge.
The people here just helped me though the care of a vicious hawk attack on my silkie. She lived, but it is because of what I have learned here.
I hope you enjoy it here as much as I have. I cant say enough good things. Welcome!

Sorry to blow your thread up, but...
If you have small kids, you may want to consider a couple of silkies for them. Silkies are really small, and more like pets then chickens. Mine would see me walk across the yard, and chase me down. If I sat on the ground they would run up to me just to see if I had a treat. If I didn't, they would just hang out and scratch right beside me.
I have a 2.5 year old daughter, and the silkie is the only thing she isn't scared of.
