Hi I am Kaitlyn!! I am excited to meet other chicken crazy peeps!!
This year is the first year I have ever had chickens. I went with my fiancé Sunday and we got six, 3 Sapphire Splash straight runs and 3 Jersey Giant pullets.
I have 13 chickens now. I know, how did six become 13 so quickly…Well one of Sapphire Splashes had a really really bad case of pasty butt, like so bad her(I think she was a she but idk) whole back side was covered in poop by the time I got her home. I cleaned her up best I could without stressing her out and put her back in the brooder. I decided then that in the morning and night I would keep checking for pasty butt and cleaning then. Well then comes Monday and I do like normal and clean her. Monday night she started to decline very quickly to the point I had to seperate so the others weren’t trampling her and pecking at her. Tuesday morning she passed away and we went to travtor supply to get one in her place. They gave us 2 as her replacement since they were trying to get rid of all of there last shipment for the season and I got 6 more while there. So yea…13 now lol.
I have 4 Sapphire Splash, 3 Jersey Giant, and 6 Black Sex Link.
I like the idea of having farm fresh eggs every morning but I also just love animals and have been wanting my own little farm so my chickens were the start to that. I am also really excited about being able to hatch my own eggs in the future!
I love to read books, bake, and listen to music.
I have a wonderful fiancé which I will get married to in November (YAY!) and we have 2 dogs, a beagle/boxer mix and a beagle/treewalker mix, and 2 crazy cats. I am in college at the moment and will graduate next May then take classes to get my teaching license so I can teach elementary school.
I looked up a bunch of questions on google about chickens and found the website for BYC so I decided to go ahead and download the app.
