Hello Everyone!
We just recently moved into a small cottage with a lovely garden, here in the Sunny South East of Ireland. The garden already has a few berry shrubs and 3 small raised beds in there. I'm so excited that, after nearly two years of renting another place (which is a long story to tell by itself
), we finally found this one. The landlord is okay with us preparing the garden and all according to our wishes 
. So why not add a few chickens to our family?
We did a bit of a research and think that we would love to buy 3-5 Rhode Island Red which we scheduled to pick up the middle of March. Before that, we want to get things ready for the girls... Their chicken house / coop and the run. They will also have plenty of exercise running around in our garden.
Beside caring for chickens in the near future, and keeping the cottage in order, I like to crochet, knit socks, do embroidery with my "Jamie" (Janome 6700P), and I enjoy spending time outdoors with my two doggies. There is Rapsy, an amazing and gentle sheepdog (Border Collie) who will turn 14 in April, and Missy, a challenging, but lovely Collie-Springer-Terrier-Mix who is about 10-12 years old.
I'm looking forward to reading more about BackYard Chickens here.
