I've wanted chickens for around 10 years and finally got to a well situated place in life where I could take the plunge earlier this year. I started with 6 sexed chicks of all different breeds, gave them bridgerton themed names, and proceeded to fall totally in love with the little ladies, more than I ever thought I would. My girls are just starting to lay, so I'm coming up with more questions and looking for more resources and for people who won't be annoyed when I can't shut up about my girls.

Welcome! 🤗 You've come to the right place then!
One of my favourite quotes: "Women get to a certain age and start collecting chickens - it's called the "Hen-o-pause!" :D
