New chicken on the farm

[New chickenon the farm]

Hi there! I'm Beth. I became a first time chicken mom about 2 months ago, and have a very active flock that includes several each of Buff Cochins, Black and White Giants, Golden Aracaunas, and Golden Polish. We have 16 in total. We live on a 100 acre farm in northern Indiana. I've always dreamed of having chickens, and this year it finally came true! We haven't let our flock out just yet, but are planning to do so next week. Also don't have an enclosed run built yet either, but as they'll have plenty of room to free range we haven't stressed too much over that, and are planning to start on that next week as well. My screenname is incorrect and I'm hoping someone could help me fix that. Thanks and I look forward to all the great discussion on these wonderful birds! (I love my little ladies so much already!)

Welcome to BYC! Your hens sound lovely.
About the screen name, it may be easier to delete your current profile and make another. Screen names are not easily changed, I'm afraid.
