Wannabee farmer

Hey all,

I'm new to keeping chickens, all chicken farms on the family property were 20+ years vacated when I was born, but my fathers grandfather had 8 chicken barns one day.
I started with a flock of four red sexlinks, one of which died due to a broken egg. I love their enthousiasm to everything, especially if it's edible and since I'm also a wannabee prepper, the function to make eggs from kitchen waste is a nice bonus.
Our first daughter is a now 17 year old jack russel and our second daughter is of the human kind and now 2 years old.

I love to be part of the backyardchickens community and hope to be able to help one day as well.

Welcome to the BYC flock. Never knew Jack Russell's could be so long lived. Hope a friend's dog will be the same.
