I am new to chickens, as I purchased my first flock in May, from BYC. I heard about you from my daughter in Oregon, also a new flock tender. I have splash Amaraucana, buff Orrington, black French copper marans, Plymouth barred rock, australorp and salmon faverell. I have had some mild frost bite on my hens with larger combs and from now on, will add only smaller combed hens to my flock. I have raised Boer goats and cross bred meat breed sheep and several head of cattle for many years as a 4-H mom and leader. Chickens will be a nice transition from larger animal breeds to more manageable ones as I age. I am having lots of fun learning about these funny little gals. I am expanding my flock this year by adding Braman, Wyandotte and oliveEggers, building a new coop and passing the old coop down to my other daughter who will start her own flock this spring. We are chicken converts, one and all.
