Hello everyone. I am not new to raising chickens but I am new to this site and I am about to hatch some eggs for the first time. I have raised many different breeds over the years and have loved them all. A few years back I gave my flock to a family in need. It worked out well for us both since I thought I would be selling my house at that time. Well we are still here and even tho we probably will be downsizing in a year or so I have decided chickens will not make or break the sale of this house. So I am starting anew. I own a painting company and I do residential interior painting. My husband of 32 years whom I adore does not share my passion for the cluckers but he is supportive and helpful. We have 4 beautiful daughters and 3 adorable grandchildren. Truely blessed. I am looking towards sharing info and ideas with everyone and maybe making some new friends along the way. Eileen
