Hey, figured id join this community seeing as I'm always ending up here while im researching anything and everything chicken-related.

I am fairly new to raising chickens. under a year.

I have 6 hens. 4 Sapphire Gems and 2 speckled Sussex. I am sticking to 6 no matter how hard the universe tells me I need more! lol

I got into raising birds mainly because I am a disabled Veteran and they keep me occupied, and they honestly help with mental health issues.
Plus the price of eggs was crazy and we eat so many eggs in my family of 7 lol it's a win/win for everyone

we have a 3 legged German shepherd who loves to herd them around their run sometimes too

Thanks for having me here. I look forward to learning anything I can here

Welcome chickeneer.
First of all thank you and God Bless you for your service and my freedom.
I agree sometimes its just nice hang out with the goofballs and watch their antics.

Welcome. I am so happy you find peace with your chickens. If anyone deserves it, it is you. I love my speckled sussex. Of my flock of 23, I have one SS hen and 2-SS rooster.
