The Front Porch Swing

[Jetfox]

I'm here from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I'm raising chickens for the first time. I have 5 beautiful girls. Copper and Penny are my Rhode Island Reds. Beetlejuice and Lydia are my Barred Plymouth Rocks. Spazzy is my little Welsummer. I've been so happy with my girls.

I'm happy to have found this community too. It's been wonderful. I thought the front porch might be a good way to become more active here.

Hey Jetfox Yes you came to the right place. Relax and chat.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I have a fenced in section of the backyard all to myself for my gardening and my chickens. Turning it into an urban farm of sorts. It's been so fun! Just do my gardening, or even sitting out there and watching my girls wander and scratch at the weeds and gravel. I'd like to plant something in the gravel for them to eat though. Ideally a type of grass.

Not sure what can grow there aside from weeds though.

Either way, they love to wander in the yard and roll in the dirt. It's just adorable. Right now, I let them onto the front yard(also fenced in) to forage in the grass there.
