Chickadee Flats
Chirping
Hello,
I'm from Northern California and when I retired about 5 years ago, I did the craziest thing and became a chicken farmer. I have about 56 heritage chickens. I wanted a variety of colors for my eggs, so I researched what chickens lay different colors and ended up buying Blue Laced Wyandottes, Easter Eggers, Copper Marans, Auaracanas,
Welsummers, Orpingtons,True Blue Whitings and many more...just to name a few.
I love seeing the differences of personalities from one breed to the other and I'm also amazed at just how smart they are. I enjoy learning how to raise them, researching the best feed, how to keep them safe from predators, and I get excited checking out new products for my hens.
I live on approximately 10 acres which allows me to garden, grow fruit trees and I especially love cooking.
We have 2 Great Pyrenees dogs that we raised from puppies. I started off as an interior designer and now I'm a chicken farmer.
It's always fun watching mynhens play and forage for food. I've even named them. Their names are quite unique.
Some of their names are: Betty White, Lucille Ball, Henrietta, and Olive Oil just to name a few. After I bought my first baby chickens, I decided that I needed to educate myself on all of the various aspects on raising chickens. I fell in love with chickens and created a FaceBook page for them. Once I was on FaceBook I found out about all the chicken groups. When I stumbled this page and learned of all of the information and expertise that I could find and share here...you became my go to choice for everything chicken.
