New to owning chickens

[Shelleygroat]

Hello to anyone who reads this. I am new to owning chickens I got my 14 chickens April 1 when they were about two days old. I have total of 14 right now, I do have 4 roosters and will need to find homes for 3 of them, the ones that need homes are white leghorns. I am an animal lover I am a zoo keeper and I have two cats and two dogs and hope to have my own farm going one day.

Very nice to meet you Shelley. With that many chickens, I think you already qualify as having a farm. Thank you for joining us at Backyard chickens.

Also a newbie. You'll need all your zoo-keeping skills to manage 14 of them. I'm getting run around by just two of the little feathery buggers!
