Hello everyone!
I'm so excited to join this community and meet new people with cool chickens and wisdom about them. I'm just going to introduce myself here and then I'll be done.
My name is Ivy, I'm sixteen, I'm a Christian, an artist, and a writer. I have two incredible, self sacrificing parents and five siblings, all of which are blood relatives. I've been raised in the south and my (immediate) family is very down to earth, organic, non GMO, always searching for secrets about the food in the USA. My mother is the genius about all that and I'm trying my best to learn from her so I can continue to take care of my body, because it isn't something I should take for granted. Eggs are a huge part of US cuisine and so having chickens is a good way for me and my family to know that we are getting the right ingredients from the right sources. We control what our chickens eat (concerning feed) and how it affects their eggs, and, in turn, our food.
I've always loved animals and so never in my life have I gone without a single pet. When I was seven years old, we got our first chickens (I think.) To me they were incredible creatures and I kept a journal about them and i would hold them and pet them all the time. I had an ameraucana named Fluffy (cut me some slack, I was seven.) She was such a wonderful chicken and she let me hold her all the time. She would coo when I held her and I learned to imitate her a little bit (strange child.) She laid turquoise eggs and I loved her dearly. I had her and others for a couple years and one day they were killed by raccoon, bobcat, or stray dogs. I havent had any chickens since then until recently we moved into a house with a large enough backyard to get more.
For three weeks now I have had six precious baby girls that seem to grow when I blink. I'm not sure what kind they are because I didn't buy them, but they are my little brother and sister's first pet chickens. I'm so excited to raise them and teach my siblings how to care for them.
