We have a barnyard mix, which may include:
Hens: black copper maran, gold laced Cochin, gold laced Wyandotte, Welsummer, OE, Frost white legbar crested cream legbar, orpingtons, EE

Having a source of eggs that are natural, clean and ethically produced.

I enjoy baking, quilting, and singing.

I live with my parents and we have two dogs and now the chickens. I work as an Optician at a private clinic.

I heard about BYC from the lady we bought our chickens from last week. I am excited to learn more tips and tricks!
