I have been reading your post for a few years now.Decided it was time to start posting.I have been raising chickens as a hobby for about 6 years and have learned alot from all your answers to other people.Just wanted to say hello from Tennessee.
I started with rhode Island reds and have evolved to 1 bared rock,1easter egger,1 buff,3 reds.7 silkies,and 3 polish crested.All hens.1 Buff rooster and 2 silkie roosters.
Glad you finally came aboard the board! Sounds like you'll have some good experience that you can share with others.
