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

[ronott1]

Hey old and new fiends. I got a very nice message from @Nifty-Chicken checking in after a long absence on the forums. I had a crazy few years. I took a little break from being online and on social media for a few years due to life craziness and I also shut down my pastured poultry business during the pandemic and I've just been growing out my own chickens for my family and friends the last few years. Currently just hatched out a clutch of black astrolorp, buff Orpington, and blue Andalusian chicks and I'm waiting for some Mottled Brahma eggs I'm pretty excited about. Love the community here and excited to be diving in again. See ya around!

It is nice to see you!

Are you going to start up the business again?

Hello! Its been tough these past years.

I had to leave home and give all my chickens, geese and quail away due to some pressing family troubles.

I hope that this year i can go back at it again without having to loose it all again.

(PS: its amazing to feel the sense of community here <3<3)

Iam sorry about the troubles!

It sounds like things are getting better for you.

Thank you for the poke and link here @Nifty-Chicken
Life got busy and I dropped off of most socials. Currently, I have my 2 girls that survived the starting small brood my husband and I got that first led us here. We've had several ducks that came and went since then that we're mostly given to us as rescues more of less by others. Currently we have 3 ducks and we are trying to raise a pair of geese to add to our small backyard flock.
We had a bit of an accident with one of our poor girls though, and she unfortunately didn't make it which is heartbreaking given that we're keeping our flock for pets. We located another store with babies since we know they should be kept with at least one other goose, and are trying to decide how long the quarantine period needs to be before we let them be together. I'll be making a post about that here shortly in the geese forums.

Good to be back at least somewhat!

I ams sorry you lost one! It is good to see that you are getting a new friend for the one you still have.
