Hello, sorry, been very ill.

Very sorry to hear that. Best wishes for a good outcome.

Hey! Been awhile, hope all is well, been super busy as of late but the birds are good!

I understand being busy. Glad your birds are doing well.

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)

You are absolutely Right things did get busy for a while. I am about to start up again. thank you for reaching out.

I've been working on a small project you would have to drop in on my feed to keep updated.

thank you so much for reaching out!! i know i’ve been awol but i do appreciate being a part of this community. even though i haven’t interacted in a while, i sometimes will link the community to other chicken-lovers who are looking for help with their own feathery friends, as it’s a treasure trove of info and resources!

here’s a photo of my dearest buff orpington, Small Blondie, who is still somehow laying eggs, at her geriatric age (coming up on 8 years!)

Good to hear from you. That's amazing you buff Orpington is still laying at 8 years of age.

thank you! good to be back.
she’s actually the less prolific layer out of our two 8 year old buff orps! her sister, Big Blondie, lays far more frequently than her. i thought (and hoped) she’d slow down over the years, but she’s a tank!

Those heritage breeds often do lay later into their lives. They are the workers for a backyard flock. I miss my buff Orpington. I have had quite a few great hens. Always friendly and curious.
