I've been relying on this excellent website for insights and information pertaining to my 13 girls. They are Rhode Island Reds, Bared Rocks, a couple of Easter Eggers, a few Orpingtons, and three Brahmas. In particular, my Brahmas are good, solid friends with our three Nigerian Goats.
We've had chickens for several years and have come across a number of behaviors, ailments, and conditions, some more puzzling than others. The longer that I have them, the more that I understand that so much of resolving issues is trial and error!
What I find most rewarding about raising chickens or any animals is observing how they interact with each other, and in turn, how I can best communicate with them.
I live in beautiful Western MA. I've been a school bus driver for several years, and of all the work that I've done, that has, much to my surprise, been the most rewarding. I am grandmother to one, soon to be two. A cyclist, writer, and photographer, but not all at one time.
I'm glad that I've officially joined; am looking forward to learning more!
