New Chicken Parents

[tll]

To introduce myself to the site:

My husband and I have 6 hens we bought mature enough to lay. They are Rhode Island Reds. Where we live we are only allowed to have 6 hens maximum and no roosters.

My husband built a nice coop, and we are off on the adventure. He had never had any chickens, I had some growing up years ago as a child. I am enjoying them immensely. They all have a personality, didn't plan on naming any of them but one has just named herself she is the leader of the pack "Gertrude ".

Welcome to BYC! Glad to hear that you're enjoying them so much! When we first started with ours, we never expected so much personality since neither of us had ever actualy been around chickens before. It was such a wonderful surprise

Chickens are full of personality and they make it fun to do gardening. Can't wait to watch mine chase each other with a juicy worm
