New to the Nest

[Chicken Salad]

Hi - I'm Jenna. I live in Western Maryland. I'm still just dreamin' o' peeps - but I was given a timber playhouse last weekend that I can modify into a lovely bird abode so I'm stoked!

I have never kept chickens. Last spring I got into a broiler project with the 4-H secretary (I work in an Extension office)...but when the dreaded "processing day" came I vowed never to do that again. So instead - I've been plotting and scheming to have a laying flock. I'm also getting into beekeeping this next spring, as well. Birds and Bees?

My coop will hold 4 birds and so now I'm doing my research to figure out what breed(s) to get. I've got their names decided on (Maggie, Millie, Molly and May).

This is a great forum and I look forward to learning from others and also contributing as I can.

I am in Thurmont MD. I currently have numerous breeds. I am building an Incubator and I hope to hatch some babies from SpeckledHen (Blue/Black/Splash Orpingtons, Barred Rocks). I am also going to be hatching really nice Deleware's as my test hatch. A lady I recently met has a beautiful flock of Delawares and is going to give me some eggs. I also hope to hatch some Maran eggs from PeaChick. I also have a Blue Ameracauna pair that I hope to hatch from also.

I will sell you a hen from any of those hatches. Let me know if you are interested. I understand that you most likely want variety in your four hens.

welcome! You've come to the right place to gather lots of good information on everything chicken. You might say this place is a regular chicken salad...so your name is a metaphor here.
