Tender advice
What’s the #1 mistake you made early on that you’d save others from? No judgment — just wisdom. I’ll go first. We jumped in head first with 20 chicks of all different breeds. It was fun but we ended up with about half of them roosters. I’d recommend finding what purpose you have for them and then sticking with a couple breeds designed for that. Don’t just go with all the fun breeds you can find. Also, have a second coop ready and available for if you have to quarantine early. šŸ˜…

My number 1 mistake was not knowing how much work chickens could be. I’ve since then got a good routine going. Non the less, still leaning new things every day!

Hi from Texas!
Weekend roll call!
Post a pic of your chickens (or just your fave) If you don’t have a pic handy, describe your flock in 3 words. I'll go first: Aging, Loud, Entitled. šŸ™ƒ

I raise English Orpingtons and I am also, a dog mom. I love learning, raising raptors, crafting, and spending time with my family.
