New here w/pics! (Dial-up warning...)

[Roux]

Hello fellow chicken enthusiasts!!! I've been lurking here for awhile & finally joined this fantastic site. First off, let me thank you all for such wonderful information...it has been a great resource for me as I foray into the world of chickendom.

I'm currently keeping a mixed group, consisting of Turkens, Cochins, Silkies, Ameraucanas, & buff Orpingtons (all younger birds, 2-3 months of age), and 4 resident Guinea hens.

We also keep peach-faced lovebirds, English budgies, a Princess of Wales parakeet, and a pair of Laughing Kookaburras.

Anyway, here are some pics of some of my favorites:

"Annie"

"Petunia"

"Sierra"

"Dakota"

"Munchkin"

"Ziggy" (my lone rooster)

A yet-unnamed buff Orpington

Some of the Ameraucanas:
"Lily"

Et al.

These are some of the most rewarding, relaxing birds I've ever kept...I work with animals full-time, and my chickens are now my downtime! Hanging out with them & listening to their soft, soothing peeps is better than any therapy I could possibly imagine. They really give me a new appreciation for learning to be still & just enjoy the moment, a cherished break from the hustle & bustle of daily life.

SO glad to be here...thanks again!

Roux

Good to have you on board. Where ya'll are?

 

[Roux]

Thanks for the warm reply! We're up here on the Arctic tundra (and political frenzy

) of New Hampshire.

Although I'm FROM Texas, just to clarify, of course.

Hi Wilkdsky! Thanks for the heads-up - that pic should be fixed now.

Here is my pair of Kooks. Both pics, Sydney (male) on the left, Bindi (female) on the right.

Thank you!!! I try not to play favorites, but Dakota is just a gem, a supersweet bird & one that I absolutely love to pieces!

Welcome to BYC....you have some beautiful birds. Those kooks are very interesting. Never seen anything like that before. The beaks are so big, i think i would be afraid to hold them
