Hi,, my name is Gelene, I was raised with tons of chickens running in my back yard, along with many other animals.
I am from a small town called Burnsville NC.... I got "my" chickens last spring, so, it's been many years and I feel like I'm new to it, and learning a lot ..................................................I have the Rhode Island reds... I have 1 Male and 3 females... I also have 4 of the black chickens, but cannot for the life of me remember what they're breed is
so , I have a total of 2 males and 6 females... I want to get more this spring, I am thinking of the rainbow chickens, does anyone know how they are... temperment? laying eggs? the ones I have started laying in the fall.... I usually get 3-5 eggs a day.
I absolutely love hearing my roosters crow, and gathering the eggs, and having my "feeding times" daily.. it put a whole new aspect of rescheduling my daily routines but I love it!
I am married to my wonderful husband, who is a OTR truck driver, and is not home very often, So again, my animals, keeps me occupied. We have custody of our 3 yr old grand daughter, and it's being rewarding teaching her to care for animals, and to see the love she has for each one is very heartwarming.
We have 2 pigs, 2 goats, 1 great Pyrenees (Lady), 4 cats, and of course our chickens, We are working towards expanding our acreage here, so hopefully next year we can add a cow and maybe another goat.
