I have kept chickens on and off since I was....8 years old. Which is ...over 40 years
I have 12 babies right now. My last flock (6 older hens and a rescue rooster) were killed by.... something last year. We re-built the coop to be stronger and are starting over.
I have 5 Buff Orp. 4 Black Astralorp and 2 Barred Rocks. Plus one Lavendar orp. I am fond of the big hardy breeds. I have found them to be peaceful.
I work from home and/or the road as a sort of "personal assistant" for skating coaches. I spend most of my time involved in volunteering for/running various Figure Skating events.
I also have 2 dogs, a horse and a husband.
