Future Chicken owner

[3rdWorldCountryGirl]

hi

I'm Laurie, soon I'll be going overseas to marry my Fiance

and we will be living with his family until we can get him a visa so we can move back to the USA. I've never lived on a farm or had farm animals before so this will be fun, his family has sheep, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and a cow.

He said I can have my own chickens and a little sheep when I get there.

And after we move back here I was thinking of getting some EEs and Orpingtons and maybe Silkies. I like the colored eggs and the Orpingtons are pretty - nice round chickens.

When I get there I'll have to post pics of the chickens to see what kind they are, though I'm expecting they may all be mutt chickens.

So, Hi everyone

Sounds very exciting - congratulations. What country will you be moving to?

 

[3rdWorldCountryGirl]

Iraqi Kurdistan. It is very safe there unlike the rest of Iraq. My Fiance is Kurdish and they keep their part of the country very secure.

I haven't asked what kind of chickens they have there because I have a feeling I'll get the same answer as when I asked what kind of sheep they have. "I don't know, regular sheep"

Welcome!!!

What a wonderful experience. You will have to take a lot of pictures & let us know the way they raise & care for their animals.
I, for one would be very interested in other customs.

I'll be going in two weeks

I'm taking my digital camera and my Honey has a computer w/ internet so I'll try to post purebred Iraqi Chicken pics for everyone

I keep thinking they will be watching me try to play with the chickens and wonder if we have any chickens here in America. "crazy american never seen a chicken before?"

So far I'm just looking around here admiring everyone's birds and learning stuff.
