just saying hi... My flock ranges from 6 weeks to not hatched yet and is from many different places ranging from a TSC rescue to chicks from hatcheries. My luck I will have 17 roos and 5 hens but my son and I are going to run with it! We have silkies, polish, marans, plymouth rocks, orpingtons, wyandottes, cochins, faverolles, australorps, brahmas and speckled sussex chickens plus a rescue mystery chick from TCS that no one there could tell me what it was. Myself, my son, our oversized bouncy fluff ball bernedoodle(Nala) and a broken hood cat(Jermaine - aka Benjamin, depending on his mood) live with our new flock on a homestead built in 1917 in NC. We look forward to being able to pick everyone's brains and hopefully raise a happy healthy flock!
