(2) I have 39 hens 2 roos and 7 baby chicks (I'm leaning towards thinking 3 cockerels and 4 pullets) - not all have names

(4) I was Googling for some chicken info and this site kept popping up with the answers
(5) horseback riding at least an hour each week [don't own my own horse - yet - but I'm working on that!], traveling at every opportunity [have been to Christchurch twice for 2-3 week visits, 2007 & 2010], reading, trying to garden [not doing a great job of it tho'! LOL], never-ending home improvement projects
