Hannah from Melbourne, Australia

[Hannahs.Garden]

Hey! My name is Hannah, I've been raising chickens for a few years in Melbourne, Australia.

My favourite breed is not a breed at all, it is rescue ex-battery hens. Usually they are ISA browns. I have two ex-battery hens at the moment and 3 heritage chicks. Daryl the Hamburg, Sasha the Orpington and Aurora the Australorp.

I am drawn to chickens personalities, passion for gardening and perseverance.

I have a rescue cat also, she is not a huge fan of the small dinosaurs who roam seemingly everywhere in her domain. She seems quite intimidated by them, and often avoids them.

I've come to back yard chickens a few times for chicken health advice over the past and decided I would join and share some of what I've learned over the years.

Hello Hannah.
Welcome to BYC.
Well, you would if you were a cat and read a bit, be a bit wary of mini dinosaurs.

@Shadrach Haha true. I should probably stop watching chicken attack videos on YouTube around the cat.

@lazytownchickens thank you! I'm glad to be here.
@jonaeselaye woo! I bet there are more melbourne chicken lovers than we think. We should do a chook lovers meet and greet!
@Butterscotchbitesfinger they are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing
