Hi everyone, I’m new to having chickens. This spring will complete my first year. I got 6 girls initially but they were so much fun so I ended up with another 9 this fall. Chickens are like little dogs that follow you around everywhere and excitedly run to see you when you get home. One of my favorite pass times with the hens and the kids is to turn rocks and logs over and watch the chickens happily eat the bugs. I live on 3.9 acres and my hens get to free range on my off days from work and for about 4 hours a day with the current light (more in summer time with the auto coop door). Chicken breeds I have golden commets, black sex link, golden laced Wyandotte, buff orphington, cuckoo muran, isa brown, Delaware, rhode island reds, Easter eggers.

I am an RN here in Tennessee. I have 3 children, 3 fish tanks, 3 dogs, 2 cats and 15 chickens. Oh and a whole lot of house plants. :) I love nature. Thank you for accepting me to this group, I look forward to reading everyone’s posts and advice.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow Awesome pictures.

I see you're propagating out of an aquarium. We only have a 5-gallon that has two fish in it but it's full of roots with the same plant as yours. I've been doing the Swiss cheese plant in there now too, so far so good. I wonder about the snake plant? Darn cat broke off two leaves.

Thank you for the welcoming. I have a 10 gallon tank with plants inside as well as the aquaponics garden on top. (Aqua sprouts I believe) I have a Swiss cheese plant that’s in water and doing well. The pathos plants thrive in this environment as well as my Freddie calathea and red philodendron. I do have a snake plant but it’s in soil and I water it only when it’s dry. I’ve never tried to water propagate that one. Guess you could try it and see. Cats are responsible for a lot of my plant damage as well. 😒🥺
