Hello and greetings all. I have been lurking the site for quite some time but finally decided to become a member as I am seeking some personal advice and BYC seems to be THE place for all things chicken. I moved to Northern Ireland from California about a year ago and purchased 4 chickens about 6 months ago. I lost one bird early on to what I believe was Coryza. Culling her was an early and very harsh lesson as she had become my favorite of the four. Unfortunatly I had not done enough research on checking the birds before I purchased them from a local farmer and I am almost certain that the birds were sick when they were sold to me. One has a wonky toe as well. Hindsight is 20/20. Lesson learned. I obtained the birds for eggs but they have since become as much pet as egg producers. They are named after The Golden Girls. Sophia was a Blue Maran, Dorthy is a Barnvelder, Rose is a Wyandotte and Blanche is a Black Maran. I have learned a lot already thanks to BYC and other internet resources and books that I have bought but it is only a drop in the bucket as I seem to be learning new things about them daily. Greetings all. I look forward to becoming a more active member of the site.
We're so happy you've joined us
