New Chicken Mom

[FHF ChickenMom]

Hi Folks!! I'm FHF ChickenMom,

I don't even have them yet, but am due to receive three Buff Orpingtons from a childhood friend who's daughter rescued the three from the "hatch chicks in the classroom" gig. They can't keep them because the live in "the city" which these days shouldn't matter to much, but they think one of them is a rooster and the town said "no way", so she turned to me. Ironically , I have been contemplating chickens since 2011 anyway, so why not. So, I have re-doubled my studies because this is going to happen...yikes. I already am well learned with dogs, cats, horses, fish and parrots-all of whom are spoiled...but these aren't parrots! So I am grateful to have a place to go with my hundreds of questions and to be able to pull from your experience and support. Thanks so much!

Well as I've said before, I only have two brain cells left and one is giving CPR to the other so there won't be any "brain pickin" here . On the other hand, I am an encourager, a ready and willin student of learning and a chicken lover....and goats....and dogs...and cats...and cattle....and horses. Welcome @FHF ChickenMom, to the BYC family, please have a seat at the family table where we laugh, cry, share, ask, love...
