My husband and I have a sizable flock of chickens and muscovy ducks in Pomona, CA. We started out with 4 hens a couple years ago and our flock has grown to include more chickens and roosters along with muscovy ducks. We also enjoy gardening, wood working projects, cooking, baking and canning. Other pets include 3 cats and a great pyranees mix dog. We also have a 4 month old baby, luckily she doesn't seem to mind the noisy birds! My husband teaches at a couple small universities nearby and I am a lawyer who is fortunate enough to work from home most of the time.
I have searched your forum a number of times when we have come across issues or had questions and always found helpful information. I finally decided I should join myself.
In addition to all the chicken chatter (and duck talk), you'll find other members interested in some of the same things you are. Here's a link to the Home Baker's thread for example: Any Home Bakers Here?
