I just joined the website. I've raised chickens since I was 6 years old. I had over 200 growing up. I have decided to get back into raising chickens as pets. I currently have 20 chickens, 16 of which are chicks I recently got. My other are full grown hens I raised from chicks. I thought it would be nice to know other chicken owners In a community!
