New here and new to a flock of my own…

[mommab85]

I’m new to raising a flock of my own this year and I’m excited for this new adventure. I was raised around chickens most of my life but never thought much of having my own until more recently. My kids are getting older and I have more time on my hands. I currently have 14 chicks, all supposed to be pullets but I’m skeptical of my light Brahma. I have 11 more pullets coming in a week for a total of 25. I chose a wide variety of breeds because I wanted different colors and personalities.

It's always fun to keep a variety of breeds, makes for a colorful chicken yard for sure!

Hi and welcome to BYC. I have "sampled" a lot of breeds too, to know which breeds I like the best. Discovered that I like them all!
