We are relatively new to the world of chickens, we bought a house with about 3 acres in March, we wanted to start our homestead with the mindset that everything on our property has to serve a sustaining purpose, we started a garden and got 8 baby chicks the end of April. We now have 20 chickens, a turkey, and a guinea hen.( and Growing). We started this page because we originally got chickens for the sole purpose of eggs and meat production, and have quickly fallen in love with their antics and quirky personalities. There is a lot to learn still and we welcome all chicken lovers and homesteaders to join in our experiences and share theirs. We enjoy input and pictures. Also, insightful discussion is always welcome..
