Hello from the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia

Thread Starter 

I joined a couple of weeks ago but I'm just now getting around to saying hello. Been too busy reading all the great posts from everyone and buying eggs for my incubators from various members.

 

So far I have bought 17 turkey eggs, (3 different breeds) and 31 ringneck pheasant eggs, (3 different breeds).

 

I have 15 adult red sexlink hens, (just starting to lay), 1 adult barred rock roo, (1 yr old), 18 five week old chicks, (various breeds), 9 three week old rir chicks, 1 six week old mallard, 1 eleven yr old yellow naped amazon parrot, 2 miniature parakeets and a cat with 3 kittens. Also, I just bought 4 silkie chicks ranging from 2 to 6 weeks old, (1 white and 3 buff), 2 pekin ducklings and 3 male lavender guineas. A regular petting zoo going on here at my place....lol.

 

Keep up the good work and keep the posts coming. I have learned SO much from the members on here. Thank you. 

 

 

HAPPY HATCHING!!!!!!!!

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Welcome!  Love your valley....I lived over the mountain in Franklin for a good while.  Love the area and it certainly is beautiful! 

If you died tonight, where would you spend eternity?  Please think about it.
