Hello BYC we are Paul and Myndi. We have recently added three chicks, 2 Auracanas and 1 Leghorn to our menagerie of dogs, bunny, and African Grey.
We decided to raise our own chickens so we could have healthy, organic eggs. We would love to have more chickens to raise for meat but our city doesn't allow more than three chickens so we'll have to wait until we move to a more rural area .
In the mean time the grand kids are loving helping to build the coop, run, Chunnel, and daily playtime with "their" chickens.
 
Hi and welcome to BYC, Paul and Myndi!

So glad you could join our community! Congratulations on the beginning of your poultry adventures. Bringing home new babies can be so exciting and addicting! Araucanas lay lovely colored eggs and Leghorns are well known for excellent egg production. Both should have good temperaments, though the Leghorn breed can be a little flighty. Lots of handling will keep them tame, however!

Sounds like you have some lovely other animals, too! I've never raised parrots like Africa Grays, but have always wanted to. I also keep rabbits and enjoy them as much as my chickens.

I hope the coop construction goes well! Feel free to ask any questions you may have along the way. We'll be happy to help answer them.

Welcome to our flock and I hope you enjoy BYC as much as we do!

You will find the community is amazing. It's good the chicks are getting lots of handling- as that will make them friendlier when they grow up! Congratulations on the chicks!!!
