We have a mix of Olive Eggers, Hampbars, Orpingtons, Rhode Island Reds, etc. Half the flock is getting older and not laying much so we just picked up some Sapphire Gems and Americanas. Sometimes we give them a marigold plant to destroy, they devour in a few minutes!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)

I am sorry for the flock problems over the Winter!Hi, it's been a while. And I was told to check in, so here I am! I took a brief break from chickens over the winter as most of my favourite girls got old (8-12) years and died, and my production flock got beyond their useful age. And life got busy so I didn't replace them. But I have eight chicks coming tomorrow, and am super exited to start up again!
I like the marigold idea!We have a mix of Olive Eggers, Hampbars, Orpingtons, Rhode Island Reds, etc. Half the flock is getting older and not laying much so we just picked up some Sapphire Gems and Americanas. Sometimes we give them a marigold plant to destroy, they devour in a few minutes!
I am so excited, and happy to have my birds again. I still have my ducks. But I have a soft spot for chickens. Local, I've got to drive about an hour to get them.I am sorry for the flock problems over the Winter!
It is exciting to get now chicks! Are they local or being delivered?

It is good to see you posting here!No chickens right now. we've had to move several times. we left our last girls at our old place. they had become the top dogs of the bigger flock at our old place. they free ranged and it was basically the Taj Mahal for them. We couldn't take them away from that back into alcatraz and the old coop flooded in the winter. We've moved again into a stable home finally..We're building a coop and run this summer. with intentions of getting 4 layers.
