Nice to meet you!

[Lara J]

Hi all, happy to be here! I’m a lawyer who moved from NYC to Connecticut about 5 years ago. I built a lovely large garden over the years and have always wanted to add a few chickens but my town didn’t allow them unless we had 2+ acres. I have “only” one acre, too bad so sad. During covid, a Girl Scout in town made a project to convince the council to change the law. And it worked! As of this year we are now allowed chickens (though not roosters). Being a new chicken owner, I am starting small with five chicks which I bought as 6.5 week pullets from a local breeder. They are for companionship, poop/compost, and eggs. I’ve had them for a week now and I’m madly in love. Looking forward to learning all I can about keeping them happy
