Welcome to BYC!!My name is Christine, I live in a small rural area in mid Nova Scotia. I currently have 5 chickens, one being a rooster named Doodle. Ruby, one of my pullets started brooding at 6 months of age, so she was given 4 fertilized eggs to sit on. She did very well until she got Sour Crop. That was last Saturday. Now Thursday, the eggs are in an incubator and she is in a cage trying to get better.
A wild dating game in the barnyard for sure happened to create these gals. Doodle has some polish in him, and mama was pretty.
2 of the hens came with me from Ontario last October, in my car. They did well and all of them now live in a truck camper.
I have had a series of pullets, 3 in Feb (Ruby is one of those) and she is the only survivor, and 2 more end of Aug, and one has died.
I also have a horse and an equine boarder, plus 2 dogs. I work at the post office and live on 6.5 acres.
