OK yes I'm new to the group. And I think I am supposed to further introduce myself? Perhaps this was already stated ? I have 10 chickens now. Two older girls at 6 years old. A Buff Orpington and Rhode Island Red., Daisy Doodle and Teaberry. I got newly hatched chicks in April 2025. 6 are black sexlinks. 4 are
RIR x Copper Maran... Petunia, Pansy, Poppy Two Toes, and Iris. 2 are RIR x Barred Rocks...Violet and Tulip. And my other two are Easter Eggers... Zucchini and Patty Pan. I live in south central Pennsylvania on a mountaintop. Ive been around chickens all my life. When I was a kid, my best buddy was a Rhode Island Red Rooster named Mr Bob. He would actually ride on my bike with me and I would take him up into my treehouse! LOL. My chickens are truly my family with any eggs being a bonus. Love my chickids. Here are Patty Panand Zucchini. Then Tulip and Violet
