Hi all!
I'm officially a newbie to BYC but I've been creeping on the site learning about how to raise my chickens for several months now. My 17 buff orpington babies are now 3 weeks old, almost fully feathered and taking several hour long field trips outside in the coup and run on sunny days but still living inside the house full time. I absolutely love them! I am excited to be joining the community and learning from and living with these sweet birds.
A little about me. I am 31 years old. I sew and make quilts and blankets for a living. I live with my handsome boyfriend, Patrick who is a Pediatric Cardiology nurse, in a house we recently purchased on 3 acres of land on Wadmalaw Island backing up to a salt water pond and a tidal creek.
I have the sweetest alapaha bulldog named Tallulah Belle who thinks she is the biddies mommy. We have 3 cats - a morbidly obese deaf dwarf nubby tail manx named Karma, a long haired orange tabby cat named Norbert and a brown and buff tabby named Loretta. The newest members of our little family are our 17, 3 week old, buff orpington chicks that we got at 3 days old (16 pullets and 1 suspected roo) named Mildred, Chickadee, Ethel, Bullah, Gladys, Nettie, Rose, Blanche, Pearl, Mabel, Clara, Gretchen, Marigold, Deloris, Bertha, Fannie Mae and Ester/Dexter.
We are looking into getting some guinea keets in the near future. I look forward to watching our flock grow and learning more about them through BYC and from personal experience. We had chickens as I was growing up and I absolutely loved them. So excited that we have the space and ability to keep them again.
Nice to meet yall!
