Greetings all,

My name is Rich and I live in Northwestern NJ. We are brand new to raising chickens and got our first chicks four weeks ago. Our main purpose for raising chickens is for fresh eggs. We wanted to start small, so we originally got four chicks. One was not well and within a few hours I returned it and the store gave me two to replace it. So we have five. They are three Isa Browns and two Golden Comets.

There are three of us in our family; my wife Jenn and our 11 year old son Maxwell. I am a retired Marine Officer (22 years of service) and am a stay at home dad, work part time as a real estate agent, and own a real estate investing LLC. My wife is a Senior Account Director for a company that does Medical and Pharmaceutical Marketing and Education. She recently changed jobs and will be working from home permanently...providing me with a lot of supervision. We have a mixed breed dog named Penny that is a rescue. So far she is super curious about the chicks and "helps" me when I clean out their current living quarters.

As a family we enjoy our time RVing (our neighbors have already signed up to help with the chickens while we are gone for eggs). I also enjoy golf, working in the yard and gardening, lounging by the pool. My wife is a school trained chef and loves to cook, especially baking. She also is an avid reader.

I found BYC by doing a google search. I look forward to learning from the other members of this forum and exchanging ideas.

Thanks!

Rich
