Hello!
Sorry for the back-to-front antics and incorrect thread placements I've been making, I've been running around half-cocked like the proverbial headless chicken. Mishmashed metaphors there...
Anyway, I'm a lifestyle farmer who is dedicated to growing my own sustenance and also supplying my family with the same. I have much to learn, have found out some random things, but I know it's all subjective and some of it's open to theorizing and interpretation, so if I seem to state something as a hard and fast fact and forget to add a disclaimer, please don't take offense.
What's true in my experience is not necessarily true in yours and I respect that.
I have a flock of about thirty chooks and turkeys, two dingo-mix dogs, a cat, a sheep, and want to get more of all and other animals too when I have the land to do so. I've had many more of all the animals mentioned, and others, before, and it was great. None of my animals are pure bred though the damara sheep (an orphan 5-month-old ewe) is close to it. I'm keen on establishing my own strains and have been keen on breeding and genetics in general from a very young age. I'm also keen on: rehabilitating and rescuing native and all other creatures, animal behaviour, and as-natural-as-possible livestock, pet, plant, land, and self care.
P.S.: I'm keen on advice on training wild dogs, because one of my dogs is so close to dingo that you'd have to know what sort of pups he produces and what his siblings look like to recognize that he's a mix, and he was wild born and bred. He's doing well but I'm still learning how to manage a wild dog and am not the best of owners. It's a work in progress. So any dog owners with advice to give feel free to contact me.
And asides from that I'm just glad to have found a comprehensive forum where people discuss chooks and where I can learn and compare experiences and get advice.
Thanks for reading. Nice to meet you all.
