My name is Steph (or Atro, I go by either). My husband (hereafter known as TWS for The Wonder Sweetie), our two children, and I live on some acreage in North Alabama. We moved here from Alaska after TWS (see, you know who I am talking about already! We are going to be GREAT friends.) retired from the military. We were in AK for 13 years.
Our farm currently has 12 japanese black tailed whites, with 8 more in the incubator. Those are our "show chickens"
. We are also looking to expand to egg layers and meat chickens.
Which brings me to an honest question. I read the rules and such but was not sure if discussing "meat chickens" was considered unacceptable. If so, just tell me and I will not mention it again. Not trying to cause waves, we are just halfway between "farm/ranch" and "backyard pets"
Anyway, I digress....we have been researching in BYC for so long, that I felt it rude not to introduce myself
I am excited to be here and eager to get to know y'all.
Have a GREAT night!
Ohh goodness, I did not even introduce the flock! The adults are Chandler, Myka, Victoria, and Elyse. The babies are about 3 weeks old and currently residing in our guest bathtub and are just numbered for the moment. The egglets are still in the incubator, also in the guest bath. No one can visit us for a bit
