I introduce myself

[BCeschi]

Hi everyone and thank you for accepting me in this wonderful community. My name is Barbara, I am italian and very happy to be here. I started three years ago adopting three chickens from the ancient breed of Polverara. I fell in love with them and I have 20 animals now (12 Polverara)

.
My favorite aspect of this activity is that I love watching them for hours and observing their habits plus I love to collect the eggs. But mostly I love to watch hens hatching and then taking care of their adorable chicks. This is my main hobby and I'd love to turn it into a small business. My family supports me and I am thinking of starting a 100 chicken organic farm for a start. I will give it a scientific approach in collaboration with the University of Padua because I want to feed them the best food for healthy egg production.
Wish me luck

Hi there and good luck with those lovely birds! I'm just getting started with rare chickens (and a few ducks) over here in Canada. This forum is amazingly helpful

I'm not familiar with your breed of chicken, but I am a fan of ancient and/or heritage breeds! I think it's great there are people want to keep the bloodlines alive.

Welcome to BYC, as one Barbara to another!!
