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

[Nifty-Chicken]

I will have to figure out the retirement adaption in another year or so.

Good luck buddy! We've had some really great post-retirement stories over the years

@DuckLady has had like 4 retirements. LOL!

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)

Hello! I literally got my first chickens last night so I was in the process of coming on the forum to ask some advice!

Man have I been busy! And so have my chickens in the time I have been here and left we have had some new arrivals and some unfortunate deaths but nothing is without meaning. I’m currently working on building a new coop for my girls and boys that is a little smaller because soon here I am going away to college and I won’t be able to say much on here at all. I love this platform dearly and if I could id take my chickens with me haha! Just because I don’t have chickens doesn’t mean I can’t post here but with how much I’ll be doing work wise chances are I might not be around much at all. Be it here there or where ever I end up I hope every one remains loving on there chickens and keep sharing the love and knowledge between each other!

-chickens in the sun-

I hope college goes well for you. Good luck with your adventure!

I do use craigslist, I find it easier to work with than FB. I also don't need to watch it as closely as FB because it all goes to email. Also the scammers are pretty noticeable. Actually they can be pretty funny: one scammer wanted me to mail him some goats...

Dehydrated goats- Add water, and watch them grow.

Super sweet of yall to check in on people!
I really appreciate it since I haven't been going though the best of times right now. Depression has been kicking my butt but my adorable chickies have been giving me a reason to wake up every morning. Not to mention my special needs Polish baby who is the sweetest chickie ever!!!! I would give her my entire life savings to make sure she is happy and spoild! Number one reason why I support anyone that gets peeps or rescues chickens. They have helped me through a lot of tough and dark times.

I'm so sorry you are having a tough time. If you ever need a shoulder, feel free to PM me. I have two special needs roosters. They take a lot of time, but they bring me a lot of joy too.

Congratulations on your first flock!

You exaggerate. I have only retired twice.

Oh hehe

I got super busy and we kinda figured out how to handle all these dramatic chickens.

We also found a nestling pigeon that had been booted from its nest over the summer and we have a pigeon now too. I think I'm her mate idk

Absolutely precious! What's her name?

Hi all!
It’s been super busy lately. We now have 8 chickens and have expanded our garden to include fruit trees and more perennial crops like asparagus, rhubarb, more strawberries etc. We are also expanding our family as we have a little girl on the way in August. Never a dull moment around here lol

That does sound busy... and AWESOME!!!

Congrats on all the exciting new additions!

Please keep us posted with updates and pics as your garden and family grows!
