Jim is my name. I just ordered 10 buff orpington females from hoover hatchery through the tractor supply website. I live in S.E Nebraska. I served in the Marine Corps during desert storm. I'm hoping for eggs and meat however I'd also like to see if my flock can alleviate my PTSD symptoms. Service chickens! . Thanks for adding me. See you in the forums.

Welcome! Thanks for your service! My chickens are registered as emotional support for my PTSD and they really do help. Good luck with your flock and post some pictures when you get them!!

Hi! Thank you for your service. I'm sorry there has to be complications with that too. Some of our best friends and close family have been and are in the military.
I'm from SC Iowa, so we're practically neighbors. It's good to meet you, I hope you like it here. - Michelle
