My Intro-Tammy from Miami

[luvmyboyz_2]

Hi my name is Tammy. I’m a Physician Assistant for 13 yrs now (Burn-Trauma 3yrs, Neurosurgery 8yrs/Oncologic Plastic Surgery 1yr). I am a single mom of two grown boys, a 3yr old golden doodle (Holly) and two cats (Nico & Mochi). We live in Miami FL & I am new to BYC. Yesterday, I was fortunate to have been given 2 Chickens (don’t know the breeds) by a very close friend who owns a farm & has over 35 chickens. Although as a child I grew with a bunch of chickens and all kinds of animals, I have never done this on my own, but I have been wanting to do this for a very long time. I’m fascinated with their cuteness & the fact that I can have my own fresh farm eggs anytime. With my new & flexible work schedule I now have time to do something that else that makes me happy… something that I love. I still can’t believe I came home yesterday with two chicken! I’m so excited but I’m gonna need some guidance which is why I’m here. I was educating myself by watching some videos on YouTube and came across a video channel Oak Abode who mentioned joining a forum and gave the name of BYC. I decided to join so here I am! It’s nice to meet you all.

Hello Tammy, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Your birds appear to be a Polish, possibly a mix, and a silkie mix.
Do you have any experience with lumbar nerve block injections?

Hey Debbie, thank you! I do not have a chicken coop “yet”. I do have a small area in my backyard where they are zoned to roam free for now. And i have two ceramic pots with hay where they sleep & go for cover.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. Have fun might want to add 2 more chickens they are very social creatures.

Hello, Tammy, and welcome to BYC. Good luck with your new flock. I'd recommend getting one more. That way if/when one dies, two will remain as company for one another.
