Welcome to BackYard Chickens. The Best of Luck with your Plans, and a Big Hello from Eastern Nebraska!

Eastern Nebraska? :cool: That is not too far away from Minnesota 🙃 My relatives (some of grandpa's brothers and sisters moved (from Germany) to Minnesota during the 1930s.

Nebraska is one of the States I always had trouble placing into an empty map 😇 but I heard it is a beautiful State.

I used to live in AR many years ago (1990s), also an amazing State.

Living in Ireland has eased the pain a little bit of missing the States.

Thank you. Yes, they are sweet and so different in nature. Rapsy is calm, gentle, an amazing sheepdog and a dream come true. Missy is the exact opposite. Her name is an abbreviation for "Miss-Chievous" 🤣. We got her at the dog pound. They sold her to us, saying, "Butter would not melt..." LOL. She was a REAL challenge to train the first three month we had her, but she turned out to be a very thankful, loyal dog with an awesome recall. One tone of the whistle and she comes running back.

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.

Blessings from Ireland

if I was you I would get easter egg or wyandotte or amaracauna/ auracauna instead.
