Hi! I've been reading awhile but never really felt like posting until now! I have a 3 (just turned 3 a couple days ago) year old girl, an american bulldog, 2 Ameraucanas, 1 Easter Egger, 4 Australorps, and 2 bantam cochins.
Last year I had Silver Spangled Hamburgs and that was an adventure... those are some wild birds! I ended up selling them and getting this flock this year, the hamburgs were gorgeous but HIGH maintenance. This year my chickens are not nearly as smart but far more sensible. And we're getting the most beautiful eggs now- really pretty bright blue from the Ameraucanas/EE and also a lovely brown from the Australorps. Much happier with this year's chickens. Oh yeah- we live in the woods and they free-range every 3rd day or so. That's what I've found works best for us.
Nice to meet you all!

I don't post here a ton but wanted to extend a hand to a newcomer 
hi!
) this year but they were the wrong ages and I just didn't have the energy right then to start with brand new chicks when my older ones were about 8 weeks. That's on my wish list though for sure!
