New member, somewhat seasoned chicken owner

[MamaD82]

Hello everyone! Glad to be a part of the group. We have owned chickens since 2021. It took a lot of time for my husband to wear me down to get them. Lol. We started out with 6 from a friend, 4 ended up being roosters. We can't have them in town so we got rid of them and got 3 more hens. Then we got 7 more chicks and couldn't pass up the free chick, which ended up being a golden laced Polish rooster. He was pretty chill so we kept him until he died last year. We hatched out some of the eggs and got 5 more chicks. Two ended up being roosters so we got rid of them. Now, my husband wanted "a few more" chicks and wanted to get some that would lay during the winter so now we have 8 more chicks. I have often used this forum when I have had questions about chicken care and decided to finally join!
