Hi to everyone,
I had signed up on BYC a few days ago, and I guess I should have introduced myself straight away, but I have been learning how things work ( I am not the brightest...lol) anyway I finally though about it tonight ( and I found out how to...), and here I am to tell you about me and my chickens, and to say thank you all for such a wonderful site.
I am Jena, and I have recently bought 4 chickens, I live in South Wales in the UK, and here these chickens are called Black Rocks. I grew up surrounded by chickens, ducks, horses and dogs, but life takes us away from these things, and I have been working 24/7 seems like forever.
Now I am 55 and taking a step back, and together with my newly found sister we are on an economy drive and life enhancement movement, so we have both built coups and runs and bought chickens. I had a playhouse which I have adapted and I built a run along with my youngest son, and my sister and her husband have built a fantastic accommodation for their 10 chickens. But as I have been introduced to this site by my son, I have found it to be a great source of knowledge and information as well as having a lovely community with fantastic people.
My chickens have not laid any eggs yet, but I am hopeful, and the days are very dull and short here right now. As soon as I have learned how I will post some pics of my girls, I am such a proud mum to them, and grateful to see I am not the only one that really loves their pets. My sons call me the Welsh Witch, because I love anything country, herbal and natural, and I am so enjoying going back to my roots.
Thank you all for the information you make available here it is awesome. What a fantastic community you all make....
