Hi everyone. I'm not so much a girl as middle aged and married. We have two dogs, no kids, and somehow ended up with chickens this year. A boy was staying with us until May and he bought his girlfriend a chicken. Of course she couldn't have it at home. My husband and I had been talking about how much we'd like to have a few chickens, so we let them keep it here. I told them they had to get another since chickens shouldn't be alone. Then DH & I ended up getting four more. Our Weimaraner, Gypsy, got hold of the second chicken (barred Plymouth Rock) before we got the permanent coop and yard set up.
The original chicken, a Rhode Island Red, turned out to be a roo. He's gorgeous! The other four we got were two Buff Orps, a Production Red and a Black Australorp. Yesterday, a co-worker of DH's brought over three more Black Australorps his kids were tired of, so now we have a flock of 8. We had no idea how entertaining chickens can be. My niece loves them and the neighbors think they're pretty cool.
I'm already learning plenty from reading the forum and decided it's time to stop lurking and introduce myself.
