We have 8 hens, they were chicks this spring. We are getting about 5 eggs a day. Farm raised girl, but first time chicken owner. There is nothing like getting fresh eggs! I also love how they talk to me.
 
Welcome to BYC!

What breed of chickens do you have? They are fun, aren't they. And the eggs are a bonus!

Make yourself at home here and if you have any questions or want to share stories & photos, jump in and have fun.

Nice to have you join us!
 
I have 2 RIR, one silver laced Wyandotte, 3 Australorps, and my favorite - 2 buff orpingtons.
I also have a west highland terrier who is a chicken herder!

Awesome, you have a westie! The best dog I ever had was a westie. Sadly, she is gone now but they are absolutely wonderful dogs. Just a word of caution, keep a close eye on her because we hear a lot of stories about the family pet using chicks for toys (much to the detriment of the chickens).

Have fun with your flock and your westie!
 
I was really worried at first but she has been great. She gives a little chase sometimes and nudges them with her nose.
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. You have a great mix of breeds. :o) If you haven't done so already, definitely our Learning Center at https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center. There is loads of useful information there. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.
 
So glad you joined the BYC flock. It must be cute watching your Westie herding chickens. There is a Westie in the neighborhod and she is a delight.
