At the moment I am a Junior in college and I love chickens! My big question is is there anyone else on here in college? If so do you still have your chickens or did you have to sell/ give them away? What are your plans after college? Are you going to get chickens/ keep the ones you have? Tell me about your chicken adventures!
As for me I am lucky enough to still have chickens while I am in college thanks to my awesome parents. My home in Virginia but school is in Ohio. I try to visit as often as possible and make the coops and all the chickens as easy to work with as possible. Thankfully I also have a grandmother in Ohio where I am keeping a few as well! My dream with raising chickens is to breed and show wyandottes. My favorites are standard silver laced but I also have some standard partridge, bantam silver penciled and even some B/B/S orpingtons on top of that. So far I have looked all over trying to find some fantastic wyandottes and I have been quite lucky to meet a few people that I am keeping in touch with and random findings of great birds. I am at home right now to pick up 8 birds to bring with me to show in the Ohio National. Not going to lie I am so excited to go and see how my birds do! I know there will be major breeders there but hopefully I can hold my own and possibly place. I am also going to be bringing them to school to have people draw and hold them. At school when I "talk chicken" peoples eyes tend to glaze over (I bet a lot of you know what I'm talking about!). I'm hoping to educate people and show them how awesome chickens are and hopefully convert a few haha. So that's a tid bit about me tell me about YOU! I would love to be able to talk to others who are juggling chickens and college .
Also share pictures!
Here are few pictures of my babies !
