Hello from Evansville, IN

[bcorps]

I am totally new to chickens, though I do have a parrot.

I don't have any chickens yet, though I got impatient and ordered some already. I have six buff Orpingtons set to arrive mid-August (five pullets, one cockerel).

I am looking forward to lots of eggs and less pests in my garden. Plus, I am a bird lover in general.

I garden, fish....typical country boy stuff.

I live alone, and I am an Electrical Engineer.

I found BYC from an internet search on Vanderburgh County Chicken ordinances!

Oh what kind of parrot do you keep? I used to keep Lovebirds and Cockatiels. Fun little birds!

I have a bratty Congo African Grey.

African Greys are very emotional birds and will act out or feather pluck if they don't get a certain type of attention. They stress VERY easily.

My bird is a total cuddle monkey. Spoiled rotten and not a plucker.
