- Hubby said, I'm getting some chicks....January began our fun. Five Barr Rocks and five Rhode Island Reds. BYC was the best source iI could find
our chickens love interacting with us and cuddling, attack with attention the moment they see us come outside!! Began laying in May, cool! - Added in April: 12 quail, 2 guinea by mistake, 2 silkies, and 2 unlabeled bantams (thinking EE now). 24 IN FLOCK, loving chicken math!
- Guinea accident.... were mixed with quail at source of purchase, turned out awesome, they love attention, talk to me daily; guessing that being raised with the two silkies and two bantams in same broader has caused their wonderful disposition. These six are still in-doors, waiting for integration, fly to me for cuddle time each night, even the guinea want to be in my lap! Never would have guessed how loving birds can be!!
- Just added to flock again this month (June): 2 silkie, 2 partridge rock, 2 blue laced red Wyandot, 2 blue australorp, 1polish(was alone in bin), 2 silver Hamburg, 2 black australorp, and 2 silver laced Wyandot. Unfortunately, Sad times hit us: this last batch of assorted colorfuls.... lost four of the five that went downhill. Your site saved the first sick one for us; unfortunately same methods didn't for the others. Heart wrenching. One week tending to sick babies, then a week in bed from salmonella poisoning for me....learned a whole lot, let me tell you.
- STILL LOVING CHICKENS, washing hands and using gloves a lot more (can't stop holding and kissing, but trying to be more careful...)..... LOL
