Hi everyone!
I'm a new (3 days now) owner of 4 hens. A friend of mine had them and was moving into town where she can no longer keep them so they came to live with me along with their coop. I have no idea what their breeds are but they are laying around 4 eggs a day. I stumbled across BYC doing research on chickens to make sure I can continue to make them happy lil hens. I would eventually like to get a couple silkie chickens.

I have a hubby and 2 boys, ages 16 and 5 and 2 dogs, Cooper a Boxer and Boo a Boxer/bulldog mix. We are having some difficulties getting Boo to not try and break into the coop to eat the hens but I think after a couple weeks she'll calm down.

I absolutely love this site and am grateful to have come actress it!

This is THE place to be when you own poultry!

Welcome to BYC and enjoy your new hens!!
 
Be very vigilant with the dogs - they want to play with the chickens, and that adds up to dead chickens. It's best to always keep dogs and chickens securely apart.
