[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hello! My name is Josie. I am 34, married, & live in sunny South Carolina! I currently have my 1st chickens EVER in the form of an assorted ADORABLE bundle of baby chicks. We have 6 Silkies (3 lavenders, 2 partridge, & 1 black), 6 Orpingtons (2 lavenders & 4 assorted from a cross with a buff & a lavender), & 3 Ameraucanas (1 lavender & 2 black split lavender). We've only had them 3 days & holy moly have we learned A LOT, 1st of which was what a HUGE difference a couple inches can make in the placement of a 250w heat lamp! The chicks have changed so quickly & already are bigger & stronger. I hope to build a flock of about 20-30 laying hens, & a seasonal flock of organic meat birds. My oldest son is going to keep the flock of Silkies & let them brood away their own & adoptees. I would like to eventually keep one Roo of each (Orpington, Ameraucana, Silkie, as well as, a Marans, which we haven't aquired any of those yet). My wonderful hubby is a fireman & we have 4 beautiful children. I am a stay at home/work at home/homeschooling wife/mother/general servant. Thank you, for all the help BYC has already been to me!!
