Hello all! My name is Erika, and I've raised chickens in NY my whole life. I've also shown them through 4-H, and won the highest awards at both the Cortland County and NY State Fairs. Because of that experience, I have a vast wealth of poultry knowledge that I am excited to share with fellow chicken lovers like me. Furthermore, I've referred to BackYard Chicken blogs for a myriad of my chicken related woes over the years, and have benefitted immensely from this community.
