Introduction

Hi! My name is Sabrina and I'm fairly new to chickens. I purchased two 1 year old leghorn chickens less than a year ago and fell in love with them! They had quite the personality and were great pets that laid delicious eggs! Unfortunately, I woke up one morning last month to three dogs eating them in my backyard! It was absolutely terrible! What an atrocious beginning to my day! I needed time to get over that sight, fix my run to better protect, and begin the search for new chickens.

Today, I purchased five 4 month old pullets! I got two leghorns, one easter egger, one brown hen, and one red sex link. At least I think that's what they all are! I would actually like help in identifying them because I bought them via a craigslist ad!

Aside from chickens, I enjoy so many things! I consider myself a jack of all trades, master of none! I dabble in just about everything from interior design to driving heavy machinery! My newest endeavor is honeybees. I am learning everything I can so I hopefully do well them next spring!

I'm excited to be a part of this site because I know that the more I learn, the happier my chickens will be!

Welcome to BYC. Be on the alert. Those dogs may very well return.

Well, who owns the dogs? You may wanna take a precautionary action by slapping the dogs' owner with a legal warning... since the said dogs may return as well to continue their bizarre preying.

You can post photos of your girls at "What breed or gender is this," and they will identify them for you.
