Good morning BYC!
I wanted to get everyone's advice and opinion on this.

Good evening BYC! :)
I love my whole Flock dearly, but my 2 month old bantams I've been raising have literally been like having little puppies!

I purchased them as...

Had a surprise with Clucky turning out to be a Cockerel instead of a pullet, but this works out anyway, because I know he will protect the ladies. :)

Yesterday I just got more chicks. 2 little leghorn pullets. making my total now 11. :gig
I swear that's it though! Maybe... I think. :confused:

Hello!
Last night my first batch of chicks spent their first night in their coop. (Clucky, Peep, Goldie, and Dot).
Needless to say, I was really nervous! I woke up a couple of times to check on them, and they were safe, and sleeping peacefully.
I woke up this morning and went out to open their...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I grew up with chickens, but once I could afford my own coop at 24 years old on my own property, I was finally able to get started on raising my own chickens.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have 9 chickens! :love...
