Hey there! My name is Kelly, I got my first chickens last April(2012) and have fallen in love and become addicted. I grew up in town, but moved to a farm with my boyfriend at age 18. Before I turned 21 I had convinced him we should get chickens. We converted an old shed and moved our first four girls in. It started with four red stars. Now we have ...
4 red stars (hens)
3 americaunas (hens)
4 brown leghorns (3 hens, 1 roo)
3 speckled Sussex (2 hens, 1 roo)
2 buff orphingtons (1 hen, 1 roo)
3 cuckoo marans, or so we were told by TSC (2 hens, 1 roo)
2 Sussex Leghorn red cross (1 hen, 1 roo)
2 Sussex Leghorn americauna cross (roos)
9 old English game bantams (2 hens, 3 roos, 4 chicks)
And the newest chicken addition
4 seramas (3 hens, 1 roo)
We also have ...
6 butterscotch call duck (3 hens, 3 drakes)
2 mixed call ducks (drakes)
6 Rouen ducks (4 hens, 2 drakes)
4 pekin ducks (2 hens, 1 Drake, 1 .. I don't know. No sex feather, but acts like a male)
3 Rouen mix ducklings (1 hen, 2 drakes)
and...
3 Nigerian dwarf goats! (2 does, 1 Buck)
Yup. A lot for a year and a half... LOL
Anyway. Hello and I can't wait to start sharing!
