Hi! New Member here. From Louisiana....in the suburbs/rural outskirts of New Orleans.

On another forum I am known as teampenninglady..."TPL".

New to the chicken world. Been studying and dreaming for a while now....and finally got my first gal:



Her name is "Queen Mildred of Ashbury" or 'Silly Milly". Named her after my mom who passed away this year. Her hair is same as Mom and if you knew my mom, the name fits. She is silkie/cochin mix. She has breakfast in my kitchen with me almost every morning...she likes bagels.

I also have two pullet chicks . One barred rock and the other silver laced wynadotte. They are in my kitchen too but permanently for a while....

Got some Blue laced red wynadottes in the incubator. We'll see what comes of that adventure.

My coop is my old two horse trailer....wasn't being used much so why not...it is solid, dry and movable. I animal proofed it and installed a fan.

I also have various other animals: dog cats cockatiel and horses.

Enough about me....Looking forward to any and all advise and also to getting to know you guys here.

"Allons et tu"...

I'm glad you joined our "flock!"

Milly is a pretty hen!
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided join our flock. I'm sorry about the loss of your mom. I lost both of my parents in the past three years, so I know what you are going through. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your hatch.
 
What a pretty hen, I love her lacing. Both silkies and cochins have strong broody instincts. I would expect her to be a super mom. When she goes broody, she can be your natural incubator and save you a lot of trouble. Welcome to the BYC flock, very glad you joined us

I am so glad you decided to join us.

Sorry about the loss of your Mom, it took me years to adjust to the loss of mine.

Silly Milly is beautiful and I'm sure loves your special attention. Your new chicks are so cute. Good luck with the hatch.

Enjoy the forums.
