Welcome to BYC!! Happy Halloween!Hi everyone! I’ve been a quiet lurker for a few years now, but finally joined! I’ve kept chickens for several years, starting a few years ago with barred rocks, RIRs, and wyandottes (buff and silver). A fox took out our last aging ladies just at the beginning of the pandemic, and we took a break for a while…until this spring, when the kids talked me into getting more birds. Went to the store for 4, left with 12
Now we’ve got four black Australorps, two gold seabrights (one a Roo), one hatchery Dutch partridge bantam (or Old English..she’s partridge colored anyway, tiny, with a single comb) and one female white silkie. (One bantam had passed as a chick, and three of our four silkies were roos with chips on their shoulders, and had to go).
Just this weekend, we hatched a few mixed bantams from the partridge (her name is Rocky) and seabright Roo (Tidbit), because Rocky has been broody twice already and she isn’t even a year old
Thanks for the welcome!
