New from Nova Scotia

[christans]

Hello,
I've just joined today after finding your site while looking for information to help my girls. We got six Rhode Island Reds last spring - Peep, Mocha, Squeeky, Ginger, Sally and Kevin. Unfortunately Ginger was killed by a hawk a couple of months ago so we are down to five girls. Our family LOVES these chickens! I have a husband and four daughters (two still at home) and a golden retriever who doesn't bother with the chickens at all.

I'm excited to be part of this forum. I was involved in 4H many years ago but only with dairy cows so I have lots to learn!

Christa

Wow, Nova Scotia! Welcome to BYC. Rhode island reds are amazing birds, I have three. They're a classic, beautiful, hardy, great layers, great temperament.. I'm really sorry to hear about Ginger. I'm glad to hear you haven't lost anymore. Do they still free range?

They have a large coop so they are in there most of the time but we let them out to free range 2-3 hours every day (depending on the weather). We have a large fenced in yard and they are, for the most part, good to stay within the backyard although I sometimes we get a knock at the door or a phone call from a neighbor to let me know they've gone exploring.
