Hello from Nebraska!
I have been lurking (and learning) for about six months trying to soak up some of the collective experience around here. Finally decided to join up and say hi.
I got my first chicks about three weeks ago--- four Buff Orpington pullets. (I had my heart set on Orpingtons, I don't know why. Orp Orp!) There's a little one that I'm a little suspicious might be a roo though, and they're feed store chickens, so it's totally possible. I got the "family" in on it, and now I have seven total chicks. In addition to the Orps we added a Black Sex Link, an RIR, and a little chipmunk striped mystery chick. (Oy, the chicken math.)
So far, so good. I haven't lost any (fingers crossed) and they all seem healthy and well. My little favorite is an Orp I named "Nugget".
In addition to the chickies I have a dog, Hunni, and old rescue cats Paris and Ranger.
I'm a full time student and have two jobs. I didn't need free time, did I?
I love it/them so far. What little characters. They make me smile every day (even while I'm washing poop out of their waterer... sigh...).
Glad to meet you all!
