I have been subscribed to BYC for about a year but really kept to myself but I am coming out of the closet to embrace all of you great like minded gents and ladies!

Little bit about me....

We move. A lot. Seems like as soon as I get used to someplace we are transferred for my hubby's work. We are currently in the great city of Omaha, Nebraska, and I love it here! We are originally from the Pacific Northwest so the Midwest weather was a bit of a shock to our systems, but we have adjusted. We have been here now for three years, so nicely settled in!

My family consists of Hubby and 3 children nearly grown. Two boys and a daughter. Each is in a different stage of life, daughter is in college, son in high school and son in middle school. The boys are autistic so it has been a struggle, but we are very close and enjoy our lives to the fullest!

The fur/feather family consists of 7 hens of different breeds, 1 guinea pig, 2 cats and 1 Weimaraner. We live in a city neighborhood, fairly small lot, great neighbors, I couldn't ask for better people to live next to. They have put up with a lot living next to my crazy family!

I decided last year to get chickens. Why? I have always wanted hens but I have felt like I should wait because this is temporary, Omaha is temporary, we are not planning on staying here that long. I have been wanting and waiting for 8 years. Then...hubby got sick, very sick....Large B cell Lymphoma sick. Surgery, check. Chemo, check. Recovery is going well, One and a half years cancer free!!! Time to stop waiting and get the darn chickens!

I love them, I truly am so happy to have my peeps!!


Thanks for reading my introduction,

You all rock and I am happy to be here!

Glad you came here! Hope your husband's recovery goes well. Best wishes towards your adventure into Chickendom! You'll enjoy it!
 
Thanks so much everyone! DH is doing much better this year than last, they say that chemo takes two years to feel recovered from. I believe it. He is now participating in a Live Strong exercise program organized by our local YMCA and it has been good to meet others who are going through what we have.

As hobbies go, having chickens is most enjoyable, not too expensive (ha!) and we all benefit from having them around.
