Hi.

[Dr Carla]

I'm a retired veterinarian who raised & enjoyed chickens my entire adult life. Unfortunately, I've got MS, am now in a wheelchair & can't work or raise chickens anymore. So I will enjoy them through all of your eyes & comments. If I can help answer any medical questions about them, I will be glad to.

Hey Doc! Welcome to the forum from SE Iowa. We are very glad you decided to join us here. Here are a few pictures of my ladies. The first pic, I had some black sunflower seeds that I throw out of rrhem. Ms. Prissy decided she was going to get them directly from the container instead of working for them. The second picture is my girls enjoying a snowball that I made for them. They are so curious! in the 3rd pic, I brought in another small bale of hay for their run. It is a happy day when I bring in more hay. MS is a terrible disease and I am very sorry you can’t have chickens for yourself. We are so glad you decided to join us. I hope we can help fill the void the disease has caused.

Thank you for such a nice welcome! Most people think chickens are chickens are chickens. They each have different personalities & are so fun to watch & interact with. I really miss them. but I think this site will help!
