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

[ronott1]

Hello, just saw your message months later, soooo very sorry. It's been quite the spring and summer, extreme heat, LOTS of rain, poor garden results, lost 2 chickens golden comets, unknown illnesses, and may finally have success with my rat battle. Whew! I hope all is well with you and all our chicken loving friends... blessings to all,
Deborah (Icie)

I am sorry that this spring and summer have been rough!

I am happy to hear about the success with controlling the rats. That can be a hard thing to do.

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’m working of on my coops and wanting to have silkies and showgirls! I would absolutely love to find someone with eggs that don’t cost a arm and leg.

Thanks for getting back to us! That sounds fun building coops, plural.

I'll send you a message. I have show quality silkies, no showgirls, and it just so happens there's over a dozen eggs I was debating about listing on eBay as I'm not incubating anymore until January.

How's life been? Hopefully good for all the BYC peeps! It's been a hot minute since I've been on here. When you add children to your life, it sure goes by fast...here is a little recap on things on the farm!

1 Yr ago today my last riding horse severed his extensor tendon in his hind leg. It's been a long road to recovery. But we took our first ride since that happen yesterday! It was fabulous. For missing a tendon. He did fantastic!! So thankful for that!!

We are up to 13 nigerian dwarfs goats! Me and my kids have been showing them a bunch at local ADGA sanctioned shows! It's been a fun time with my kids!

We still have my lovely old rooster Falkor, he is going to be 7 this spring! I also have my OG Blondie who will be 7 also this spring! Besides the 2 original gangsters. We have a bunch of oddball chicken. Langshans, EE, and a flock of cochin bantams. I took on a tiny bantam rooster who is looking rough. But currently on quarantine attempting to get back on the mend. If he survives this ordeal, him and his hen can reside in my buck pen and help with bug control. Eventually when I get a coop done, they will be garden chicken.

Hope everyone had fantastic summer!
