New to the chicken world

[Longbeard42]

hello everyone. I'm Chris from Missouri. Been a lurker for a long time on byc. So figured that I should join.
This spring I jumped in to the chicken world after many years of wanting them. First I got 12 brown leghorns. (Hoping that 1 or 2 would be a rooster) no such luck. But that's ok. FYI. I'm looking for one. After they got big enough I came across 24 Cornish cross. I thought what could b so hard about raising meat chickens for a couple months. Well that's a whole other post. Let just say for now that they all made it where they should.
Well thats a little bit about where I am at the moment with my adventure in the chicken world. Looking forward to reading and learning more on here also getting to know some of the great people of byc.
