SoCal Chicken Newby!

[jaemvee]

Hello! I’m Jen. My fiancé and I just started raising chickens this year after the pandemic egg shortage we experienced here. We have a good mix of blueberry loving goblins out in our backyard now - 9 to be exact but I’m sure more will be joining in the near future! Chicken math, right?
I feel like I’ve had to of spent days now reading the forums on here and am so grateful for all the amazing information this community provides. I’m so happy to be here.

Welcome, Jen. What a pretty flock! I was surprised you have a rooster in S California-- he's beautiful. I hope you get lots of eggs and I hope you enjoy the website!
