Hatching
HI everyone! My name is Casey and I live on a 4400 acre cattle ranch in Northern California.
I am new to chickens and guineas. I got my first chicks in April of this year, and just picked up 6 keets yesterday. I am hoping that by next year the guineas will help keep my chickens and family safe from the rattlesnakes that frequent the property.
My Flock:
I have 8 chickens right now: 2 Amerucanas - Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor, 2 Buff Orpingtons - Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha Jones, 2 Black Australorps - Keep and Eat (not really gonna eat her by my hubby has a strange sense of humor), and finally 2 Polish Gold-Laced-Frizzles - Timber and Harriet. However, this last week we have found out that Harriet is really Harry as he loves to crow all day long! I also just added 6 Keets that I have in a brooder separate from the chickens. I plan on slowly integrating them to the coop when they are ready which should be a while!
A little about me:
I love living on this ranch. The family that owns it homesteaded it in the 1800s so it is rich in history! I love having my chickens - they have been such a joy and I already have so much stories! I work full-time for a large WW computer/security corporation and also run my own antique space at Melange in the historic district of Folsom, CA. I enjoy creating art, reading and gardening. I love growing sunflowers!
My Family:
Besides the chicks I also have 2 english bullodgs - Ruby and Drake, 2 wonderful teens and my wonderful hubs!
I look forward to hearing and learning from everyone here! I love seeing your amazing coops and chickens!
