Hello,
I’ve recently gotten back into keeping birds over the past year. At the moment, I’m locked in a bit of a war with raccoons and unfortunately have lost a few of my rarer birds. Even so, like many of you I suspect, I still have more chickens than I probably should plus my dad’s flock.
Right now I’m raising Japanese Onagadori, Le Flèche, Ayam Cemani (Indonesian, not European), and some Ayam Putih. I came back to this hobby because I missed it, and also with the hope of doing a little selective breeding to help fund my master’s degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling. If I can sell a bird here and there, maybe I can chip away at those student loans while justifying this passion project.
When I’m not with the birds, one of my other hobbies is restoring antique books. I’m glad to finally join this community and look forward to learning from you all.
