Hello, I've had my own chickens for a few months more then a year now, I've been on backyard chickens before when my hen Lilly has been sick but never really started an account. I have a flock of seven birds at the moment with plenty of room to expand. I also collect exotic reptiles and amphibians. I bake custom cakes on the side, and I'm currently studying to become a vet tec (everything from domestic pets like cats and dogs to exotic animals to backyard fowl if i can make it through the schooling).
I live in a pretty suburban area with my family at the moment but i want to one day have space for my own homestead and keep my own barn animals, i would like to grow an organic garden one of these days for both myself and my exotic animals, except i kill every green thing i touch.
I got chickens so i could have delicious fresh eggs with those golden yolks but after a while i stopped caring if they gave me enough eggs or not and just started thinking of them as pets, that's how i came to own two old hens who don't lay and one on the verge of stopping.
But anyway it's really nice to finally know of a place i can go if I'm having issues with my flock or just want to talk with others with the feathered babies running around the backyard.
