Hi! I'm Veronica!

[vbrowne1]

So, I have been following a TON of threads and articles on here as I raise and learn all about my chickens. I never thought I would love them so much! So, here is my introduction. (Sorry about formatting, I tried to cut/copy questions and my phone did weird things lol)

I got my first chickens two Easters ago:T Americaunas, a buff orphington, a Rhode Island red, and a barred rock. One of the Americaunas ended up being a rooster. Last Easter I got what was supposed to be three jersey Giants. I ended up with a jersey giant hen, a jersey giant/Americaunas cross rooster, and a jersey giant/Brahma cross rooster. Then I took in my friends jersey giant, buff orphington, and Americaunas hens. Currently we are at 3 roosters and 8 hens, and I'm working on fattening the flock.

I am a HUGE animal lover. I work as a dog bather at PetSmart and hope to go to grooming school. I am going back to college in August 2020 to finish vet tech degree and then transferring to get a degree in wildlife conservation. Aside from the chickens i have a zoo of other critters. A female pocket pittie, a small male pittie, a pit/mastiff (hes my love), two rescue rabbits, a cat i adopted, 3 big fish tanks with Oscars and convicts, and a cockatoo that i am babysitting. I love them all.

I look forward to getting advice and help from all of you who know so much more than I do about chickens! This is all a learning process for me!!!
