Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

[Amberrose4]

We have such a vibrant community here at BYC... tons of active friendly members. Of course, life gets busy, so I was thinking it would be fun to start a thread welcoming some of our peeps we haven't heard from in a while.

If that's you, come say hello and let us know what you've been up to.

(if that's not you, feel free to invite peeps you haven't seen in a while and say hi to those that post here)

Hi, I still have chickens! I have my 1 blind silver spangled hamburg hen from my first flock, my one blind serama rooster from my first batch of serama chickens I got, his brother serama rooster, some golden crested sebright’s, and the sebright’s and my serama roosters pullets/roos. I have too many roosters, of course, but they all get along thankfully, trying to find homes for the roos. I have 6 still. I don’t kill/eat my chickens or roosters, so if no one takes them they’re staying I guess luckily they’re all friendly with me and each other. Sorry this is so long-winded, but I figured I would give the full update… lol. Oh, raccoons got my poor silkies and their serama Silkie babies last summer, it was awful. I would love to get some Silkie hens again. They’re so friendly. oh, and these chickens/roosters are not all together. I have 6 coops with runs that are separate that I can conjoin with gates on my property, so they’re also not all separate. hope you are in the mood to read. Have a good day!

Wow, that’s a big project! Best of luck. It sounds like things are going well.

Things are going well! I managed to finished the brooder bins today too. Its been many days in the process. There is a lot of equipment to track down, clean, and assemble. But its done!

So sorry for your Silkie losses, never easy on the heart. Sebrights and Seramas are fun breeds to keep! Thanks for the update.

They are all so adorable especially the silkies. @Debbie292d you need to see these paint silkies.

So... I'm still around but I had to take a break from chicken-related stuff.

As some of you know, I was separated from my chickens after I had to leave home due to a situation of violence.

I still can't afford another place that allows me to keep my chickens so they're being cared by someone else and I visit them as much as I can - but as I'm working full time now, this is like twice a week at most.

So I ended up just taking some distance from BYC because I'm so sad when I see chickens and I'm reminded I don't have mine with me all the time.

Hey all! I have been very MIA! I started working full time, so my “free time” is far less than it used to be. Chicken updates: we’ve had quite the year of issues and with Texas heat last summer lost a few. Went from 14 to 7 in the last 2 years, but still loving them all to pieces until the day they pass!

I am so sorry you can't keep any birds, at least you can visit them, nothing better for the heart than hugging a chicken!

So sorry for your losses, the heat has been tough the last few years. I'm glad however that you are enjoying your flock!
