Hi everyone! I’ve been lurking for awhile and decided to join as I’m learning so much on this site. We have horses, dogs, cats, a squirrel and a donkey here just north of Houston TX. About three months ago, we got 7 chickens. As we discovered some of our hens were actually roosters , we got 7 more!! We are learning daily and are delighted by them. We have 4 silkies, a Plymouth Rock, two leghorns, two gold laced Wyandottes, two Easter Eggers, two Brahmas and one rooster of unknown descent .....something red. We had no id a chickens could be so much fun.

So glad you got chickens! They are SO much fun, I've been raising them since I was three. I love to watch them and discover their little personalities, even when they're young. Have fun with your chickens! I have a blog all about raising chickens, you can visit the link in my profile if you'd like :) :welcome:jumpy:D
 
Welcome to BYC! Aren't chickens great fun? So glad you decided to join us! I have discovered the joys of other species like guineas, quail , and turkeys as well. Beware, birds are addictive!:lau
