1. I keep a small flock on my property, usually anywhere from 12-20 hens. We have some older hens that are our pets that will get to live out their days with us and others that we keep for a while and replace with new chicks when I have insistent broody hens. We now hatch over 100 chicks every year but only keep a few for ourselves.
2. We keep a mixed flock with many breeds. Olive Eggers, Easter Egger, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, English Orpingtons, Frosted Legbar, True Blue, Bantam Cochin, Speckled Sussex, etc.
3. They do all have names, my daughter named most of them. Sunny-Side-Up, Nutmeg, Olive, Margaret, Poppy, Hermoine, Buckbeak, Mini, Skittles, Miracle...and I'm drawing a blank but I could name them if I were looking at them, lol.
4. We currently only have the chickens. We used to have two old Dobermans but they passed and we haven't replaced them.
5. I LOVE to garden!
6. Andrea is my name. I have some friends that call me Andi but I don't know that I would realize you were referring to me here at BYC because I'm still getting used to seeing my actual name here. LOL
Ah, nice. Thanks for sharing more about yourself/your life!
As for me.... (I'll type it up!)
