Hello. I have been hovering in the background, reading, enjoying, considering... Wanting to get my own "girls". Up until about 6 months ago, my husband has staunchly said "No" to the idea. His love is motorcycle riding and I spent the last few years trying to learn, so I could share his love and fun. So, you are saying, what does all that have to do with "COSTING AN ARM AND A LEG"?

About 6 months ago, I took a fall while we were dirt bike riding. I shattered my leg, and really did a number on my knee as well. Stuck in bed, motorcycle riding a thing of the past, husband feeling really bad about what has come to past. I clearly needed a new interest. About 3 months ago, I finally got my coop, and my beginning chicken family. I love my girls, they are really therapeutic and helped me through this tough time.

I am happy to say that I am beginning to walk again. And although it is not exactly correct, I sometimes say that my chickens did not cost an arm and a leg; but they did cost "a leg" (sort of)

Looking forward to continuing my journey, with a lot of you to help guide me.

Incidentally, I have Seramas. I have raised them since they were 5 days old. I hand-feed them worms every day, they sleep in the house at night. I love my new feathered family!




 
your rooster is gorgeous, who did you get him from? "some" people will do anything to get out of riding motorcycles, I wouldn't go that far but, it's great you got your chickens. Seramas are so small they only count for half a chicken or less, so you should be allowed to have many more.

welcome and enjoy it here, I know I do and I'm new too. Your Rooster looks so majestic and proud. I'd love my chickens in the house but it only happens when one is sick and needs to be apart from the others.
 
Welcome! Wishing you continued healing as well. Your flock is so cool looking!
