Welcome to BYC!!Hi All.
I have had a free-range flock of several breeds, including Buff Orpingtons, Speckled Sussex, Barnevelders, Barrd Rocks, California Whites, and Red Sex links. I grew up with a flock of less-than-affectionate Leghorns, but they taught me so much.
My daughter and I live in a city that is not very close to my family's farm, so we decided to raise a little flock in our backyard. I've never kept chickens in a permanent run, as required by our city. I am building a portable coop and run so we can move our girls around our spacious yard. I just wish we could allow them to roam our property.
I look forward to reading all about everyone's chicken journeys! I work at a farm supply store and coop-talk is my favorite part of any shift.
