Good evening from Ontario Canada,
My husband and I purchased a farm in 2004. It was a place to spend the weekend and be away from work. We loved it so much we decided to have a new house on the land and moved three years ago. I discover about having coeliac disease in 2007 and was told I could not have eggs or milk for ever. After a lot of research, I realized if I was to have my own chickens having eggs would be possible again...so we gave it a try. After three years, we have 38 chickens for the eggs and the meat. This year my husband came back with two turkeys (female and male). We had to get rid of the Tom as he was not nice at all...and we lost the female after she sat on her eggs for 27 days. I found this website as I was looking for information for our chickens when we started on that journey...and decided to subscribe when I started having problems with my turkeys. We are very green at this and reading the post, seeing that I am not alone into this makes me feel better, helps me understand those birds and teaches me a lot. We hope to find some Polish and Chantecler hens next spring. They are not easy to find in our area...
