Hello, My name is Marsha. I am new to this community as well as being new to the chicken world. I have always loved chickens and have never had the time nor the opportunity to have my own. This year I have finally been able to make that dream come true. I am almost 36 yrs old. I am married and have 3 lovely children. My step son is almost 19, my oldest daughter is 16 and I have a 9 year old daughter as well. We currently live on about a 1 acre lot. We have two large dogs that are our outside friends and will be some protections for my new chickens. I have a 5 yr old fluffy gray and white cat named Halo that likes to keep to herself. I have a 4 year old Peekapom that is like my shadow and loves his mommy very very much. We also have two fancy rats named Olive and Remy that have helped my youngest daughter tremendously with her ADHD. And now we have 8 wonderful new baby chicks. We know that 4 of them are for sure pulleys and the other 4 could either be pulleys or cockerels, but I am pretty sure that I am going to have 6 hens and 2 roos by the end of it all. We decided to go with the following breeds that are docile so that we can basically have pet egg laying chickens that we can get in the yard with and have fun. 2 Barred Rock, 2 Buff Orpington, 2 Silver Laced Wyandotte and finally 2 Cinnamon Queens. We have not given them names yet because we want to wait to see their little personalities and what they will look like. We do know that we have a sassy one on our hands so we are pretty sure we will name her Mother Clucker. One of the Cinnamon Queens of course will have to be named Cinnamon. We also like the names Henrietta and Eleanor but we are still tossing names around.
I first heard about Backyardchickens.com on a youtube channel that I have been following to get some information, Oak Abode. They are wonderful and truly have great information on their channel.
I am so excited to watch these little chicks grow and explore and just learn how to be chickens. Any helpful advice or helpful tips and tricks, please feel free to give them. I am beginning construction on my coop, nesting boxes and run this coming week so that it will be completed by the time my chicks are ready for the outside world.
