hey all!! Name is Nikki. My first ever experience with raising chickens. I got my first flock in April and they were only a week old. They are about 13 weeks now I believe .

I have 6. 5 ISA browns and 1 Australorp. I raised the 5 browns from babies and I found he australorp not long ago in need of a home. The australorp is much older. She is 14 months and laying eggs but is a sweetheart heart to my teenage browns so it’s working out.

I’ve only named 3 chickens lol still looking to name the other 3 once I find what’s makes them different from the others.

I have other animals... 2 dogs, 3 horses...2 toddlers I hope to learn a lot with this forum!!
