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

[janiedoe]

Hi, I haven't been on for a while. A few things have happened since I was last here. Of my 10 chicks that I ordered, 4 survived. Have never experienced losses like that! Then, I purchase 4 pullets - that is the way to go IMO. Got 2 Jersey Giants and 2 Ameribellas. Well, the Jersey girls were also the mean girls. They were beating up my EEs so bad! They are now gone.
Replaced them with 2 8 week old Shetland hen pullets. Absolutely adorable little bits.
Also, got 2 Shetland hens that are laying the nicest blue and green eggs. Got a rooster that is a cross between a Shetland and a BCM. Gorgeous boy.
Once the little girls start laying I am going to mix the flock. Very happy with my bird blend.

It sounds like a beautiful flock. I'd love to see the rooster's photo!

Are we really getting old?
She was JUST pregnant with Thing 1.
I remember that pregnancy like it was just yesterday.

I am old. You, Kiki, are still a youngster. (I think just proved I'm old by using the word youngster.)

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)

Doing well, minus the fox taking off with one of our Brahma gals this evening...yikes! Attached is a photo of our success in luring the flock away from the cow pasture with treats and back into our yard to gobble up ticks!
