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

[janiedoe]

What a great idea! I know there's been some people over the years I had been missing.
Things are OK here chicken wise. I'm down to 6 chickens. We lost Toothless last fall to sour crop that was caught too late, Clover to a coyote/ wolf attack, and Loki to natural causes.
Kids are grown - oldest is heading into her Sr year of college for a history degree and youngest will start her sophomore year in the fall. She wants to be a veterinarian.
Finally at the point that I'm seriously looking for a house.
Nothing really interesting going on otherwise. Spend most of my time working and the rest trying to figure out what to cook for dinner and cleaning.
Can't wait to see how everyone else is doing!

What are you cooking for dinner? I spend a lot of time on that decision too.

Hello, I'm adding for the first time to my original 7 year old flock. I just picked up a mix of 13 new chicks.

Good luck with the new chicks, and with integrating your flocks!

Hello everyone! It certainly has been a minute!

I've been busy with planting in the garden this week. Several varieties of tomato and pepper plants!

I don't keep chickens myself, but I have a friend who does. When I'm on BYC, I usually hang around the gardening forum. With the warm growing season back, I will probably be more active here on BYC again.

I hope you have all been doing well!

May you be blessed with an abundance of produce!

Hi!! Busy with spring chores. Just took plastic off the run. Power washing tomorrow. Came in here to look for a recipe. I was going to use 6tbson peppermint Castile soap w/vinegar in a gal of water. Hope all is well at your end. I did loose my RIR. Not sure if respiratory or what. I treated her like I did another hen. Gave her a soak in epson ..I was drying her, she vomited brown liquid

Hello! It's great to hear from you, and I'm sorry to hear about your RIR. Hopefully it's not something that will impact any other chickens!

Hello! I’ve been busy with end of the school year activities, such as hatching chicks in my classroom. I actually came here today to ask for help with a chick that has a bad leg….i think it’s a slipped tendon. Not sure. One leg won’t straighten out and is folding up and toes are curled. I’m going to post a video in the appropriate thread. Other than that, I have about 25 chickens happily roaming my backyard.

Classroom chicks is how this site started!!!

I hope the little one with the leg issue gets the help it needs. Keep us posted with info and pics of your large flock of 25 chickens!

Hey Guys!! Sorry I’ve been MIA, between homesteading and work and then a relative living in our home with an LVAG , it’s been hectic!

All is well, we’ve had many baby chicks come and go.

Thanks for thinking of us!

Hey there! It's great to see you back, and thanks for sharing the pics!

Ya, sounds like you have your hands full with homesteading, work, and family! Feel free to share more about your adventures anytime!

Thank you for reaching out ! it really is a great community that I truly love. We had a couple of years of health challenges that kept me focused elsewhere. Happy to report we're picking up a few more chicks next week. Green light to keep our farmette alive and well with backyard chickens.

Aww, thanks for the nice comments on our wonderful community! It's great to hear that you're getting back into the swing of things and adding more chicks to your flock! Wishing you all the best as you continue to nurture your "farmette"!
