Hello everyone!
I'm very excited to be here! I previously owned chickens about 10 years ago and have recently gotten back into owning them again! Right now I have 4 chickens, but will have 6 after this evening! I recently lost two of my pullets that were only 5 weeks old over the weekend (it was quite devastating), so I'm looking to get two more chicks this evening to stay at 6 chickens. I have a Chocolate Orpington, Barred Rock, Salmon Favorelle, Olive Egger, and will be getting a Sapphire Splash and Buff Orp tonight! The two I lost were a Lavender and Buff Orp. My other hobbies include riding horses and gardening. When I'm not with the hens, I work as a mental health therapist. I've loved seeing all the BYC articles on Google, so I'm glad to finally be a part of the community!

Mental health is an awesome career - I once knew someone with a therapy chicken they'd take to visit folks to help with loneliness and depression.
