Sorry about falling in the door the way I did...but I've been lurking and peeking in the forum window sense Dec. I'm registered, bonified and baptized into the world of feathers and beaks........and I'm SOOOOO in love with my "girls".I'm a city girl turned country girl in my ol age.....we bought a 10 acre hobby farm and if it crows it's finding it's way to my door. As I speak I have four 10 week old Jananese black tailed buff bantys in a small holding pen on my back porch. They are much amusement
for my two shih tzus. Outside in the corner of the garage is the "girls" I have 3 BR, 1 Blk cochin, 1 RIR and 1 Araucana. At one point I had 39 chickens...but one by one the foxes got them...and then I picked up some more and they were sick...didn't know it and the rest fell victim....I'm left with "the girls" and doing fine.....yesterday the bantys came to live here....I keep the pair of adults in a tall domed wire flight cage right next to the girls, till I see if they get along or not. The little ones I'll keep inside a bit longer.
Hubby is still to build me a chicken house.......and a big run......free ranging here is just too dangerous.
I'll be in and out hanging out here...reading, learning, sharing and if you excuse the fact that I'm a terrible speller, I'll post more and more.......
