Hello All,
I am new here and we have had chickens for 5 almost 6 years. We started out small with 2 hens and have gotten bitten by the chicken bug and now have over 30 chickens. We only have about 3 acres so I don’t want to go too crazy here.
As we have gotten more we have branched out into other breeds. We started with BO only and now how speckled Sussex, Barred Rocks, Easter Egger, and the list goes on.
My son is really into them and wants to hatch his own this coming spring.
Thanks for the add and I look forward to learning from the knowledgeable people on this site

Welcome to BYC. I would like to recommend involvement in 4 H or a local poultry club for your son - poultry showing is a great experience.

Hello, and welcome to BYC! Being bitten by the chicken bug doesn't hurt, except that you have to buy more feed! I'm glad that your son really likes them, as that way he will gladly help you to take care of them.

Glad to hear your son is enjoying the poultry...raising chickens (or ducks, geese, etc.) is a great hobby for the entire family.

Thanks for joining us!
