Hello! I'm Cas : )
I live in the Pacific Northwest and have owned chickens for somewhere in 6-7 years now. I ventured into pigeons 4 years ago, we owned a duck for a summer (before deciding he'd be happiest at our friends few acres) and for a year in the middle on top of pigeons and chickens we also owned some coturnix quail and then a few bobwhite which we raised to sell.
I was part of 4H poultry in my county for I believe 4-5 years, my greatest achievement during that time was getting Reserve Grand Champion of my fair's poultry, (grand champ was a handsome duck, so I like to think my cochin gal was the best chicken ;D) Most of our flock is the older ladies who we got near the beginning, my showbirds were rehomed to someone still in 4H since I aged out (20y now) but we still have some really sweet birds, even if a few are older and crotchety! (We got one of each- Cochin, Easter Egger/RIR, Barnevelder, Bantam Cochin, Smooth Silkie, Bearded Silkie, OEGB, Bantam Leghorn, Bantam Cochin/Bantam EE, Bantam Easter Egger, Polish, D'Anver, and a Easter Egger/Marans(?), all hens, no roosters for the first time ever)
I also did 4H with pigeons, I own a few breeds but I am on a halt from breeding and trying to downsize cause quarantine has been a little rough on budget, the breeds I am keeping are Birmingham Rollers (specifically almond, blue spread and a blue bar pied, plus possibly a few rec red grizzles) a pair of Damascenes (both barred) a pair of chinese owl pigeons (blue spread, but both carry non-spread
!!) a pair of oriental rollers (almond & rec red) a handful of Portuguese tumblers (various colors & grizzles) a few homers (blue t-checker, but I'm gonna sell these guys :'c) and lastly I've got a pair +1 of ringneck doves
I hope to one day have a farm. My ideal property would be 5+ acres, chickens, ducks, quail, rabbits, possibly some turkeys or geese, and of course a dog and a cat, some fish tanks if I can have the extra time : ) I love animal genetics, art/drawing, and I love farm life, hopefully one day I can afford to live out in the country, but for now it's nice to be able to have chickens and pigeons and a few fishtanks, they help during this crazy times : )
