In Feb. or March, 2012, it will be 3 years. I think we have about 32 now...I lose count because they mingle with the ducks and guineas, and won't slow down for a head count.

I have only had chickens for 3 years, but had been keeping other "livestock" birds such as muscovy ducks and pigeons for 20+. Good thing too....alot of things with chickens are the same and it comes in handy.

I did for 10 years, started when I was 15 until I was 25 and had to move into the city for job reasons. I miss them alot, that's why I love this forum so much.

Wow, looks like a lot of newbies on here. I'm not alone!

I'm in the largest group so far, between 6 months and a year.

Two years. It's been a year with my current flock. I took a 15 year break between flocks...my then fiance had a large flock. They died off (foxes and 'coons got 'em), we got married and had kids. We decided to raise another flock when the kids were old enough to be interested. Now they all want their own flocks when they go on their own.
