About me and my chickens

[Bantina15]

Hello,
My name is Emma and I am 11years old. I got my first chickens on my 10nth birthday. We have 7 hens. One normal sized old English game fowl, an Australian buff Orpington bantam, an Easter egger and 4mixed breeds. I have 3budgies and a couple of kangaroos. Every day I spend about 1-2hours with my chickens. On weekends all up I probably stay with my flock for 8hours or more, so I know a lot about them and their personalities. There are many things that chickens do that I can recognise. Chicken language is important for me to know. Usually I can tell just what a chicken is saying.

Hi Emma and welcome to BYC - great that you have joined us. Your chickens look very happy - I love to see chickens free-ranging.

Nice to meet you Emma. Since you have 2 Kangaroos, am I right in assuming you live in Australia?

BYC has "Australia, six states and one funny little island." thread if you want to see what is going on around you. Thank you for joining us at Backyard chickens.

I didn't ask for the chickens for my birthday. They were a big surprise.
