Just a newbie to BYC introducing myself.
I am in the process of getting back into chickens after many years of being too busy working and traveling to care for them. A year into retirement and I couldn't withstand any longer the desire to have some feathered members of the family.
My husband and I live on ten lovely acres on Marrowstone Island, which is on the Olympic Peninsula not far from Port Townsend. We run a small B&B and look forward to adding fresh chicken eggs to the current list of garden fresh produce we make available to guests. We are currently designing and building our chicken's setup and will be getting hatching eggs within the next month or so. I am considering both welsummers and cream legbars, as I am interested in good foraging heritage egg layers.
Any advice is appreciated, as there is obviously a wealth of knowledge on this board. Thanks to all those who so generously share it!
Here's our little homestead.
