Any teens on BYC?? Teen talk thread. (Older/younger ppl also welcome!) Lets talk self sufficiency. :)

Hey y'all! I'm Kenna and I'm from Polk City, FL! I have been obsessed with animals pretty much since birth. I don't care if they have scales, feathers, fur.... I love em all. I am working on learning to be more self sufficient. I have raised my own meat chickens (cornish X), built my own coops, started a garden (and harvested some huge tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, watermelons ect.) and have even learned how to do emergency surgeries on animals that are hurt or sick. I love everything outdoors. I love to fish! It seems there aren't many teens out there nowadays that have the same passion as me so I figured I would try posting here to see if there is other teenagers out there that are also working to become more self sufficient! If you love poultry, being self sufficient, gardening, fishing ect. please feel free to say hi! I figure this thread can be used for us to discuss all types of things and to help each other learn how to do different things. feel free to post pictures, videos, tutorials or whatever you have in mind!

I raise different types of poultry. I like to have a variety so I have Emu, chickens, turkeys, guineas, ducks and a peahen! My family and I also raise bloodhounds. I rescue animals anytime I get a chance to. I have a 3 legged dog and have had potbelly pigs with missing ears, bow legged turkeys, chickens with broken wings ect.

Anyways.... it's never boring over here at the Brackin house!.... Y'all post away! I look forward to meeting yall! <3 older/younger people are also welcome!

My bad, cats DO serve another purpose. Sighting in your rifle for deer season !

Great topic, im wayyy too old to be in here so will only post once.
I had Budgies when I was a teen, a bird named Elvis (don't ask), loved him to death!

Very good thing here, what you are doing, being self sufficient, all that, and looking for other people your age group to help and keep ya'all going.

Grandpaw says great job youngun' Keep it up !!

From what I seen, chickens are not very picky, just point and say NO !!
Walk away and 3 minutes later they will be eating it.
They love clover, chickweed, and other things we'd consider weeds in our gardens too, so depending on whether you want to eat from it as well or not, have at it. Plant human stuff and share with the girls would be a good idea IMO.
