Hello everyone! I've been reading posts on here for several months in preparation for getting my first backyard chickens. In May, I got Helen, Gladys and Mable, (all red sexlink) who were still pullets and having now been laying since the middle of June. My plan is to raise two more from chicks in the spring, then I'll be chicken capacity per our city ordinance.

The ladies and I live with my husband Mike, a software engineer, and dog Hondo, the sweetest dog there is. I am a licensed mental health therapist and clinical supervisor, specializing in children and families. I'm excited to learn more and be a part of the group!
