New here!

[emmalou1]

I am a first time chicken owner. We got our first 4 in February.
They were supposed to be Buff Orpingtons but I have recently found out they are Buff Chanteclers instead AND that one of my hens is in fact a rooster!
They are named after The Golden Girls, Blanche, Rose, Sophia and Dorothy (the rooster).
So far I love the relaxing nature of watching the girls (and boy) exploring the yard and observing their personalities develop.
When not in the back yard with the chickens I’m with my daughters and husband. We have 2 cats, Charkie and Bagheera, as well as a Yorkie named Wego.

Welcome to BYC! I had to go look up Buff Chanteclers. Pretty birds. Ooh, they're Canadian! I see you're in Texas, say hi on the Texas thread in the where are you section of the forums. I'm SW of you, just north of Fort Worth. Have your cats met your birds? My daughter's Siamese did - not when they were tiny, but now that they're bigger, he's just curious and interested.
