New chicken lover!

[Embalmergirl]

I have had my backyard flock for almost a year now. My very understanding husband got them for me for my birthday. I had wanted my own flock for quite awhile and my husband finally agreed. I have 2 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Barred Rocks (they are 14 months old). And 1 beautiful 3 month old Ameraucana. I also have an Australian shepherd who loves to watch over her flock.
