New here, just wanted to say HI

[navyvet]

A great big HELLO to all you great folks. Just wanted to tell y'all a little about us. I live in Wintersville, Ohio, but, when I was a kid our family lived on a little chicken farm in rural Alabama. (approx 25 hens and two roosters) The roosters didn't like Dad and chased him all the time. When I retired from the Navy (oct 93), wanted to get a small place and raise chicken. Plans sometimes don't come out the way you wanted them to. To make a long story short, I now have the time and a small place. Wife thought at first I was nuts when I tolk her I wanted to raise chickens. Well be getting two or three leghorns sometine around Easter. Looking forward to the fun and talking to y'all good folk. May God bless you all.
