Hello, everyone. I just joined BYC yesterday. My Darlin' Husband and I got our first five little hens right at a month ago. Four 14 month old Red Sex Links, Bernadette, Henrietta, Lucille, and shy Rosie and one 16 month old Black Jersey Giant, Madea. They started laying for us about a week and a half ago! They weren't pet chickens until we got them, lol! We live in Mississippi and it's already humid and pretty warm. We don't know much about chickens but we're learning and having fun. We recently moved from an apartment to an acre and a half. There was a coop already here so we decided to put some chickens in it. We've had some problems, but seem to have worked them out. Coop has a dirt floor and we ran into a problem with mold. That was scary to me! Nobody got sick, hallelujah! Anyway, I just came in from watering the girls and the garden and polishing off my first cup of coffee and saw y'alls thread. I wanted to say "hello". Y'all have a fabulous day, enjoy your coffee.
