Hello from Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania!

[nephany]

I’m a newish chicken mom from Lehigh Valley, PA, not too far from Allentown. I currently have 2 Roosters, 31 hens and 15 new chicks that I just hatched Sunday/Monday. I have an assortment of Whiting True Green and Blues, Wyandottes, Black Stars, Midnight Marans, Ameraurcana (McMurray version), barred rocks, Easter eggers, a black Jersey giant, Welsummer and a few others. Not sure what my boys are, as I only ordered females, but they’re good boys and not aggressive. They’re all almost a year old. I wanted a variety of different egg colors and they do just that! We’ve had a few light brown leghorns and the last one passed away a few years ago at the age of 9, still laying eggs. Moved and got some more land and now we’re back at it again. I love them all and their crazy personalities. I’m the weirdo that goes out and has conversations with them every day, which is my therapy. I’ve been reading posts for awhile and finally forced myself to sit down and relax and join the community!

Salve (Latin for hello)! You must have a beautiful flock with that assortment of color! I talk to my hens (and other birds) all the time, but mostly it's to yell at them for causing me trouble ...

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Nothing weird about talking to your flock, mine have heard all my successes, failures, stories of my past, lessons of the day and coop gossip, etc... and they do listen!

Nice introduction, make yourself at home here!
