Hi! I’m a new member here at Backyard Chickens. My chicken journey started when my mom found a live Rhode Island Red chicken in a pile of dead chickens at the dump. The vet said she had a bullet in her chest and would be lucky to survive. Well, she did survive and has been our pet for a year now. This spring we bought two Rhode Island Red chicks and they are now four months old! So I have a fairly small clock of three chickens but lots of other pets, including a rescue dog, a rabbit, a crested gecko, two mourning geckos, and lots of
fish.



The top photo is Dumpling the rescue chicken and the bottom ones are my chicks (not chicks anymore), Chip and Fern.

That is an awesome story! I have 3 also.(I had 4 but a skunk got into the coop and killed 1 of them.)
Hope you love it here!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I can't even imagine the kind of person that would shoot all their chickens and dump them. So glad your mother found her and she survived.
