Hi yall
My name is Zoa, and I live with my hubby & 4 kids on a 7.5 acre hobby farm in North Dakota. We have 2 Nigerian Dwarf Goats (wethers) and a small but fun coop with 5 hens, one roo and 4 guineas. We also have 2 overweight indoor cats, a handful of barn cats, a dog and an over active hamster!!
Just today we went and got 25 chicks- silkies, araucanas, and bantam cochins. They are 1 day old and so far, they are doing good!
We are fairly new to chickens... we had them several years ago for a few months until a pack of dogs raided our chicken run and killed our whole flock while we were gone one day. We haven't had them since until just recently. We are hoping to have better luck this time, as we really enjoy having them! The six we have now, we purchased already grown from a nearby farm. We know that 2 of the hens are barred rock, but the other ones we don't know what the breeds are.
I found this site through google- I did a search for chicken info, and found hours of helpful information here!! I am hoping to continue to expand my chicken knowledge by joining the boards here as well.
Anyway- glad to be here
