Hello everyone!
Raising chickens has been a dream of mine for what seems like forever. This year my husband and I finally got some! We have five Plymouth Barred Rock pullets, and I absolutely adore them! They're three months old now and while I love them all, I must admit, I do have a favorite. Her name is Sassafrass and she's a scissored beak chicken. She has so much personality and seems to have bonded with me instantly. She's the first to run to the gate when I visit with them, and she flies onto my shoulder if I sit still longer than five seconds lol. So far she's eating just as well as the other girls. I have my fingers crossed for her though, and I'm ready to do whatever it takes for my little girl to live a long and happy life despite her mild disability. My husband and I are 25, and have six other children: three spoiled rotten dogs (Chihuahua, Chiweenie, and a Husky mix), a rambunctious cat, and two very obnoxious parakeets). We hope to someday live in the country and have a full-on farm. Until then, we'll make due with our tiny fenced-in plot of land, decent sized vegetable garden, and coop full of sassy little hens I look forward to learning a bunch from everyone here, and maybe in the future contributing a little knowledge myself to someone else brand new to chicken keeping.
Happy chicken keeping!
