Hello everyone. I live in North Eastern Pennsylvania. I am new to having my own chickens but have been around them most of my life. My Grandmother, my mother and father and In-laws all have had them. I brought my first chickens home in May. We live on a part of my husbands family farm. I was sick of always finding ticks on myself after working in my flower gardens. I decided to get them to eat the ticks. I dont find ticks anymore, but I dont have many flowers anymore either. Even trade right. After they went through most of the first planting I was nuts enough to try it again. I went out and bought a flat of Petunias. I set them on my front door step with the intentions of going out to plant them later that day. When I went back out all that was left were a few stems. I didnt even get to put them in the ground. Now I only plant flowers in pots on the back deck. They havent figured out how to get to them yet.
I have 3 Road Island Reds, 1 rooster and two not sure. 3 Sex linked, 2 pullets and 1 rooster. 4 golden sebrights, 2 roosters and 2 pullets. 2 that I think are OEG Red Pyle, 1 rooster and 1 pullet. I also have 5 Silkie that are 5 weeks old, 5 Seramas, 2 roosters, 2 hens, a 3-day-old chick, and a peacock, and a peahen. The only ones I am getting eggs from yet are the Seramas.
I have been visiting this site since May and finely decided to join. I found it when look for information about my birds. I found this site to be very helpful.
Now for what else lives with us. We have a Blue Front Amazon parrot, a Blue Head Piouns Parrot and 4 dogs a Silkie terrier, a Yorkshire terrier, a Maltese and a beagle.
Here is a link to pictures of my birds.
