New member, but long-time mixed flock owner (since 2000), and had chicken experience as a kid in the 70s and 80s.
We live in South Mississippi and have 12 hens and 1 roo in the coop, with excess roos free-ranging (lost a lot of hens to predators last year).
My chooks are mutts out of a buff Brahma & splash Cochin base with a bit of this, that, & the other tossed in over the years. I keep chickens for bug control, meat, eggs, and enjoyment.
Himself & I are retired. We live semi-rural, and also have horses, goats, barn cats,and Muscovies.
My interests are baking, cooking/spices, gardening/botany/horticulture, mushrooms, fermenting, foraging, reading, and I am an avid turophile.
I have been aware of BYC for many years, but was more of an occasional lurker with not much spare time on my hands until more recently.
I am hoping to learn more (especially with regard to breeding my birds), and look forward to participating in some discussions.
