Hello everyone! My name is Liz!
I'm new to chickens but I've been wanting them for over two years now! We just got 14 chickens after kindergarten in my school watched them hatch! We are unsure of the breeds at this time.
I've read quite a few posts from this forum while researching different things before getting the chickens! Some of my hobbies include four wheeling, crafting, and camping! Newest one is watching my chickens!
I've been married for almost 10 years! His name is Darrel and we have a 7yr old, Austin. We have two dogs, a 11yr old male golden retriever, Coby, and a 2 year old femal husky/pit, Bailee.
