Hi and welcome! You are definitely not alone, we got 3 new babies today.Hi everyone,
Yep, I caught the chicken bug...We decided to turn this old little potting shed into a chicken coop, with an additional chicken run attached. It turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself! We bought 4 little chicks (all girls, I hope) (because sadly, we cannot have roosters where we live) A RIR, Buff Orpington, Barred Rock, and a golden laced wyandotte. Cutest little chicks ever! Two weeks pass, and we got 4 more...a black copper marin, a blue australorp, and two Americaunas....now I think these are actually the cutest little chicks ever! I'm not sure they are true breeds...I hear stories of people passing a chicken off as one breed when it's really another...but, Im hoping they are all gonna be what we're hoping for. We eat a lot of eggs...this is why we decided to get chickens. I would love to have a beautiful rooster, but, our neighbors would NOT be happy with us...Maybe one day, we'll have a real farm so I can get that rooster! I've learned so much by reading posts on this site already...looking forward to hearing other people's stories too...View attachment 1733495
