Hi there!
I've been lurking for a few weeks since getting my girls and finally signed up to join in the fun. We rented 4 chickens (Jersey Giant, Silkie/Ameracauna mix, 2 Easter eggers) from Rent the Chicken last summer and decided to set up a permanent coop this year. We got a pair of white crested black Polish pullets at the end of June (15 weeks old now) and will be getting them 4 more slightly older, already laying friends soon.
We live in northern NJ on 4 acres in farm country with our 3 dogs, 4 cats, and toddler human. I'd like to dig a duck pond and add them to the mix in the next couple of years and my husband has some ambitions of raising a few sheep.
I'm a technical project manager for an e-commerce company during M-F business hours so our flock is for companionship and eggs for breakfast.
