Hello from New Zealand!

[Tantrumm]

I recently inherited some hens and their chicks and I could not have gotten this far (or kept them alive) if it wasn't for this site - I have used it for almost everything regarding my hens and other various feathered friends and thought it was about time I signed up.
I have found that most of the information/advice was in "US speak" so after months of converting to "Kiwi-talk" I thought I may be able to help others in this part of the world needing direction. So hello from New Zealand!!

I am a mum to 10 boys, and 3 girls (all have left home), wife and entrepreneur - I run my own company and in my 'spare' (lol) time I am a pretend farmer with my (ALL rescues) 2 Barbary Doves, 2 Japanese Quail, 6 Chinese Quail, 5 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Flemish Giants, 2 Wild Bunnies, a baby pheasant, 2 kittens, a dog & a husband - who all live in the house, except the hens and occasionally the husband ;-)

That's quite an assortment of animals you have, must keep things interesting!

We have other members from NZ here, I think if you put New Zealand in the Search box, you'll find some of them.

Thanks for joining us!

glad you decided to join us.

You certainly stay quite busy, raising 13 children and now with a business and "the farm".

Enjoy the forums.

Hi and welcome to BYC - glad to hear that you are building your US - Kiwi translation repository! I get a little lost sometimes (thats nothing new I should add) with terminologies - its all part of the fun of BYC! Thankfully, there's almost no rugby talk here, (so there's limited opportunity for gloating

) which is a blessing cos I'm English and the less said about the World Cup, the better!

All the best

Hi and welcome. I haven't come across many Kiwis (yet!) but there are quite a few of us Aussies.
