(2) We have 10 Chickens

(3) 3 Barr Rocks, 1 Red Cross, 2 Golden Comets, 2 buff Orpingtons, 1 Plymouth Rock, 1 Astrolope

(4) Since we are new to this, we are enjoying and learning about them

(5) Camping, hiking, outdoors

(6) My family is my wife and two kids, I am a teacher, and a landscaper, we have one dog and one cat, and we are fostering 2 other dogs

(7) Bonus: Was looking online to see about chicken coops and found it.

Jump right in and make yourself at home.
Becareful if you buy a prefab coop from a box store the number of chickens at holds is half of what it says on the box.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
It's tough to foster dogs sometimes. This is my second foster. I got her Nov 2012! Never could let her go.
