New Crazy Chicken Lady!

I was assuming it meant stay at home mom...but I was way off the mark!

You were not wrong afterall.

It's for Stay At Home Mom.

Well where I live 'Stay at Home Mom' is the norm. We say working Mom instead. Pardon me for my foolish mistake.

Hey, everyone! My name is Kristen, and I'm the proud, new owner of 8 chicks. I had chickens growing up, but this will be my first time taking care of my own flock.

A little about me: I'm 28, married, and a SAHM of two! I have a daughter (4) and a son (2), and we live in Statesboro, GA. I do have some health issues, most likely Multiple Sclerosis, so some days I have a hard time getting around. On days that I'm feeling good, I love weight lifting, horseback riding, and working in the garden.

About my chickens: I have nicknamed them the Flower Flock. It took me months to convince my husband that we should have chickens, and the final bargaining chip was to point out that he had failed to get me flowers for our wedding anniversary. I have two Buff Orpingtons, Daisy (the bossy one) and Chicky Winky (aka Rosie, but don't tell my daughter ), who is the sweetest of them all! I have a Barred Rock (Violet), affectionately called the trouble-maker of the group, but she's really a big sweetheart that sticks up for the smaller chicks. I have a Sapphire Gem named Jasmine, who's a bit of a loose cannon, but always entertaining. I have 2 EEs, named Lily and Ivy, a SLW named Poppy, and a mystery chick named Hazel. They were brought home today, so I haven't been able to get to know them as well as the others.

I look forward to talking to all of you soon!

Aloha and welcome to BYC!!! Great intro. I enjoyed learning a little about you. To funny... I have a bossy BO named Daisy, a Jazzie (jasmine), a Rosie, had a Lilly, have a BR that is the peace keeper... (that would be Maize). You were almost describing my little flock of 13 . Sorry to hear of your health challenge and I wish you all the best- health, happiness and wealth. Glad you are getting some horse therapy. I think chicken therapy is the best by the way with horses as a close second... ice cream a yummy third. Again, welcome to BYC. We are so happy that you joined in!
