View attachment 1447594 Hi friends. I’m a new chicken mom from just south of Birmingham, AL. I got my original chicks in April when a former student of mine let me pick out 4 week-old chicks from a recent hatch. They are a Polish/Silkie cross - far more Polish than Silkie. My goal is to eventually have eggs and I was nervous that I might end up with all Roos since they were straight run, so I got two Buff Orpington pullet chicks from the feed store. It’s been two months since then and now I most definitely have two Roos and 4 hens. I am going to have to re-home the boys since I am in the city, so I am going to be adding 2 Ameracauna pullets and 2 Black Copper Maran hens this week. Dang chicken math! When I’m not being a “chicken tender”, I’m mom of 7 kids and 4 dogs, I’m an art teacher, and I enjoy photography and being a horse show mom. I hope to learn a lot from everyone here! Here is a picture of my little flock for your amusement.

Hi, @artsy.owl !
I’m also just south of Birmingham, in Shelby County, and an artist as well! Nice to meet you
