Hello my fellow peeps! I’m fairly new to chickens, I’ve always been the animal lover in the family. I grew up in Southern California and moved to Washington state when I was a teen. I’ve always been country at heart. I love horses, I grew up riding (lived and breathed horses) we have always had dogs and cats. Met my husband in high school and now we have 2 beautiful children. My daughter is 7 and has autism we also have a son who is 3. Currently we have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 6 alpacas, 1 Shetland pony, 12 chickens and 2 Narragansett turkeys. We also have 2 beehives. I work full time at a farm equipment dealership and my husband works from home and stays with the kiddos. We got chickens earlier this year and I didn’t know how much I would grow to love these creatures. Our first set of chickens were pullets ordered from mypetchicken, delivered at 1 day old. Out of 6 (sadly we lost 1 cream legbar chick at 4 days old) 5 grew up and are thriving at about 5 months old. I also acquired 6 black silkie chickens locally. A hen and roo and also 4 silkie chickies. Then I talked my husband into letting me get the Polish chicken someone was selling down the road. We also have 2 naragsett turkeys who my daughter absolutely loves (so much for thanksgiving dinner). Current farm project we are doing is converting a 14ft travel trailer into a coop (I’ll post progress pics at some point) my hope is to one day breed rare chickens, use my resources from all my animals and homestead to make money from home and be able to quit corporate life. For now I’ll be learning lots, making plans, talking chicken and making connections. Looking forward to it all!
Cute polish chicken!!
would love to own a few someday. I started out riding huntseat, my dream was to be in the Olympics for show jumping. I also dabbled in barrel racing and reining. By your username I suspect you are a horse person too!
