Hi I am new to backyard chickens, I first got chickens about five years ago because I had always wanted chickens 
I originally had a barred rock called Pepper, a cochin called Lady Penelope, two blue mottled pekin bantams called Bilbo (because of the feathery feet) and Batman (anagram of bantam). Unfortunately we must of had coccidiosis in our soil because they all got it and we think our rabbits had it 
They all survived accept we think it caused health complications a little later on for poor Lady Penelope and Pepper and they have passed away unfortunately I currently have four chickens, the two bantams and two araucanas called licorice and antoinette who were hatched by batman When the araucanas were chicks we gave them a feed that was meant to help prevent coccidiosis and I guess it worked. Batman actually hatched three araucana chicks but one that we called Smoky was a rooster and we unfortunately had to give him away I first found out about backyard chickens when my chickens got coccidiosis and I was looking for some information online to tell me what was wrong with my chickens!!! I have since been looking on the backyard chickens site whenever I needed some advice and I finally put two and two together that I could have an account 
I love looking after my chickens the best I can and I want to thank the geniuses who created this site!!! Thank-you
