33 Year break from chickens

[PouleChick]

Bonjour and welcome from France! You cats sound amazing - my poor boy is scared stuff of the chickens - they definately rule our garden! Welcome back to the world of chickens after such a long break!

Welcome to BYC. I'm glad you decided to give it another shot with chickens, and I wish the best for you and your animals. The forums are always open for questions and contributions, and I hope you will enjoy your time here.

Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

What an interesting intro

I do have a tendency to be long winded at times.

You may indeed be Crazy, as your name indicates, but it sounds like crazy in a good way (that, coming from someone who used to cook chicken and veggies in the Crock Pot for her old seizure-prone dog).

It sounds like you have a great variety of critters with character. I don't know how you house your separate "communities" of hens and roosters, but I just have too many small groups in too many coops!

Your cats sound great. My American Buff geese don't take their jobs as seriously, but yesterday they did manage to frighten off a postal employee who didn't want to walk down the lane (which is blocked by a gate to discourage unwanted guests) because Gussie and Golly frightened him as they free-ranged with the chickens and ducks.

Avoiding farm stores only works for so long, as you have learned. Welcome back to chicken raising and to BYC! BTW, it's a good thing your Ulysses doesn't live near my Sir Henry. Yours stays up late; Mine has been crowing since 4 a.m.

Gussie and Golly sound hilarious. Ulysses woke up to crow. He does that every night after midnight if I have not turned off the hall light. He can see the light from the living room window.

Ok I will have to look. I have videos on YouTube, but I will look for pics.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Now isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. Skunks ARE strong odors.

I know it sounds crazy about skunks, but I tried it and it works. (Haven you ever noticed that skunks do not stay in the same area that they sprayed their nasty odor. They do not want to be around that smell anymore than the rest of us do.

33 years? Man, I'm barely getting by at 3 months without them. I've been seen here welcoming newbe's lately. It's fun reading the excitement of folks getting into chickens. Well ...I've decided I am going to get a couple of hens for summers..umm.. maybe 3. . Welcome!!
