Hello from Japan!

[gilokee]

Hey there! My name's Jenna and I've been raising chickens since I lived in Tacoma WA a couple years ago. I've sinced moved to Japan (my ex still has my old flock), and I've started raising chicks here too.
They're finally big enough to go outside so I've rigged up part of my shed for them to live in. It's kind of janky so far but I'm still working on it!

Happy girls!

My goofy run that I'm still working on (and my garden!)

Bonus pic of a chicken from my old flock, Borb:

SO ROUND.

Anyway, I'm glad to be here! Anyone else doing this from Japan?

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing! I just looked in our Where are You state and country threads and there is not a thread in Japan! So I do believe you may be the first!

No wonder they are happy with all the greenery they have for snacking.

It's great because I often grow stuff that I forget to eat, so they get all my overgrown lettuce, half-bug-eaten strawberries, etc. It works great!

Thank you! Oh dang, first! I am in a very unusual situation here where my husband and I are both American living full time in Japan lol. He's a blacksmith's apprentice so he is here on a cultural visa and we plan to never leave. I already have these chickens, 3 parrots, and 2 dogs haha. The neighbors call it the city's petting zoo!

Hello! I'm not Japanese but my partner has lived there for significant amounts of his life and is fluent. I've been there recently and loved it! What area of Japan, if you don't mind me asking?
