Aloha! Late Introduction

[HawaiiCoyote]

Hello BYC peeps!

In the last 4 yrs I have looked to BYC in my times of need as a small chicken farmer,
and I'm just now joining the community

My name is Bella and I currently have a flock of 12!
I live on a three-acre piece of land on the east side of big island of Hawaii. My family and I are currently turning it into a farm, with lots of hard work!

I have always been an animal enthusiast; here are the breeds and animals I have on my land
Hens: 1 RIR - 1 BSL - 2 Australorp - 2 Golden Buff Orpingtons - 2 EE x RIR mixes - 1 EE x Australorp mix - 2 Feral hens
Roosters: 1 Silver Laced English Orpington
Cats: 1 Rescue Cat (unknown breed)
Dogs: 1 Doberman x Blue Heeler x Catahoula mix boy - 1 Pitbull x Rat Terrier x Catahoula girl

edit: ( I have also raised and sold roosters in the past! )

Some of my hobbies are mountain biking, harvesting, gardening, surfing, art, Jiu-jitsu, and chicken hugging!

I'm excited to learn from you all!

Mahalo nui loa!

Thanks CluckerFamily!

Sounds like you have your hands full with all the critters, let alone the farm work. And, you STILL find time for hobbies -- good for you!

Welcome to BYC, Bella. It's good to meet you!

It's good to meet you too! I think I would go nuts without hobbies
Mahalo for the warm welcome!

Hehehe heya

Hi Bella, welcome to BYC! Wow, your dogs especially the pit are some interesting mixes. I'd love to see pictures of them, your cat, and your flock!

here is a photo of my Pit x Rat terrier x Catahoula x Heeler * I forgot to add heeler in my original post *

these are pictures from we got her at the animal sanctuary ( she has gained a little weight since then.) Do you think she has pitty in her? She has an insane lockjaw which makes me think she does, but considering I have only owned five dogs in my life I could easily be wrong. Thank you for the warm welcomes, I will get some more photos of her today!


Her name is "Lily"
Also here is a photo of my dobie mix! His name is "Honua"
