We got our first chicks in July. I never thought I would be a chicken mom, but I absolutely love my babies. We have 15 beautiful hens and 1 sassy rooster.
I'm glad you are enjoying your chickens! Was acquiring a cockerel an accident or did you purposefully get one male? I was just curious, since about 1 in 10 "pullets" seem to turn into cockerels. (I love my roosters, though.)
So glad you decided to join us. Aren't chickens just amazing to keep, who knew?! Enjoy your flock! If you have any questions about them along the way, be sure to ask.
