This is my reintroduction since earlier this week I missed the template when I signed up. I am relatively new to chickens as I found a stray a little over a year ago. She is the only one I have and is a Buff Orpington. I enjoy watching her run around the yard, scratching up the dirt and eliminating bugs AND she is the only pet I have that feeds me!! I enjoy all types of plants, but mostly enjoy growing orchids, plumeria, and epiphyllium. I have close to 100 orchids but am truly not addicted to chids. I also have 2 dogs who were rescues along with a Russian Blue cat. I enjoy cooking and reading. Use to travel a little, but have not done so since finding my chicken - tough to board a chicken. I was told about BYC long ago by a friend who is a Veterinarian (when I found the stray) but just recently got on the internet and joined immediately. I look forward to learning a lot!!
