Welcome to the site Ashlee and this is a wonderful site. I have joined a year ago but been more involved the last few weeks and everyone is so helpful and the content. Hope you enjoy it here? Your feathered friends look beautiful!!Hello everyone!
My name is Ashlee and I live up in Northern California, and I was directed to this forum when I was talking to someone about my future dream to have a small hobby farm. I was further encouraged to join after seeing the amazing articles and information available.
To give a little background, when I was younger (9-13 years of age) I was put in charge of the chickens on a farm my mother had moved me too. At the time, I really hated living out in that area, suddenly being pulled from town, friends, and the familiar made me a tiny bit grudgey. I did not, however, take it out on the hens in my care. I would feed them and clean up their coop, collect eggs, turn them loose for a bug hunt in the garden, and find the occassional 'tomato bug' to treat them with.
Now, years later I would love nothing more than to have chickens, a garden, and maybe some other poultry/animals as well.
The hens I took care of were Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks, which I think I may get, but Buff Orphingtons and Ameraucanas look interesting as well. Fortunately I have time to do a bunch of research as it may be 6 to 24 months before my plans take wing, so to speak. This is due to working on paying off debt and getting my credit score high enough to land a low interest rate loan for a house and property. I would be severely limited if I tried to rent and own chickens so I want to go for the investment of home ownership to start chicken ownership.
Anyway! Glad to be here! Hope to learn lots!
