Chickenfever/Chicken lovers annoymous

I wish I had the self control to make it just a hobby but I'm sure I won't beable to have just a few and will be so busy conducting the daily chores building for them, going to auctions, on and on that I won't have time to do anything else. But then again I don't plan on having just chickens either. I want many other fowl along with the other barn yard animals and small exotics. Keeping, breeding, and marketing animals is my love and passion and always will be and I want to make it my livelyhood.

We thought about getting some ducks, but I read somewhere that is was possible for one variety of poultry to transfer deadly viruses to another type of poulty - - - - SO we decided to stay with chickens

Hello, my name is Debbie, and I am a chick-o-holic. I don't even HAVE a FREAKING CHICKEN, but right now I feed a ferrel chicken that lives in the woods about a half mile from me. My brother came today and offered to buy me breakfast. I told him coffee would be fine, since I am on a diet. He picked me up, and I had a wheat bun in my hand. He said "is that all you are going to eat?" and I told him no, it was for the chicken in the woods. I had him pull over, and I was outside in the drizzle, calling "Here chick chick chick", and throwing little pieces of the bun into the hedgebushes. I had also told him about feeding her a brownie while it was snowing. He sweetly said "Sis, has anyone beside you really seen this chicken?" bottom! About that time, here she came. She knows my voice, and is always hoping that I have chocolate. But I mostly don't. The wheat buns and scratch are bad enough for her! The really cool thing is that a little over a year ago, I had 2 aneurysms clamped in my brain. Brain surgery makes your family think you are crazy. And I am LOVIN IT! Hubby told me when I bought the scratch, that she wasn't my chicken. I quickly told him "Shhhh, she doesn't know that"!
 
Turkeys are notorious for transmiting to other bird other than that I don't hear about alot, I have a freind who keeps chickens, ducks, pigeons, rabbits, and occaisionally pheasant and quail all on 2 acres and does just fine. He does keep the differnt species in seperate conected pens though, most just divided by chickenwire or galvinized tin roofing.
