Hello Chicken Peeps! Let me introduce myself.

Hello! I've been keeping chickens in my back yard for 6 years now. I have 7 chickens: 1 Gold Laced Wyandotte, 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Black Star, 1 Production Red, and 2 that look like Golden Comets or some kind of red sex link (no roosters - city ordinance). I've been a member for several years, yet failed to introduce myself before now, it seems. I've come here whenever I have questions and usually find answers from others who have posted the same questions that I have.

Just brought in 3 young hens, who are very friendly and sweet. They are quarantined in their new pen away from our existing 4, and are being treated for worms. They are otherwise healthy & beautiful.

I love raising chickens for their quirky personalities, their cuteness, and, of course, the EGGS, so much better than any store bought.

I have a husband, 3 grown children & 2 grandkids who appreciate the fresh eggs =). And we have a cat. I have degrees in music & psychology, I've worked at the library, and as a student group tutoring mentor for middle & high school students. Besides raising chickens, I sing & play recorder, keep a garden - can, & preserve - and I enjoy knitting & crochet.View attachment 2051721View attachment 2051725View attachment 2051740View attachment 2051743View attachment 2051748

It’s nice to meet you!
Lovely flock you have there!
 
Welcome to BYC, this is a great forum. nice to meet you. I love your golden laced Wyandotte
Awe, thanks! She is the oldest, only surviving one of the original four, 6 years old. She has this low pitched, contralto voice, sounds like she says this long drawn out, "uhhhh huhhh" as she inspects my work cleaning the chicken run. She has a pea comb that I like to call her "raspberry beret." Oh yeah, and she crows sometimes to get my attention, usually if I'm late to bring out some snacks. :D

Yep, six years. I really enjoy it, though it is a time commitment, and a little hard to travel. They are fun, and while we're supposed to be doing the "social distancing" because of covid 19, they keep me company. Ha!
