Hi all,
My name is Sabrina, I am from Quebec, Canada. I know there must be some Quebec chicken sites, but this one is so nice and plenty of information that I have been coming here everyday for the last few weeks to read the articles!
I studied (and worked for a few years) as a vet assistant. I love animals. I am buying a house in the country and I am allowed to have chickens, so now I am trying to learn as much as possible before I move in, in less than 2 months.
There is already a little shed that I would love to convert into a coop. I will start by finishing that project before I adopt my chicks, of course
So, happy to be here with you and learn about chickens, it is really exiting!!! I will try to get then as eggs, I have already incubated some eggs in the past. I remember when I was about 15, we had a few hatchings. One was a rooster, and we kept him for a LONG TIME! He was always in the house with us, and we would bring him outside (always in our sight). He always slept indoors
He was super nice, me and my dad remember that we could watch movies with him sleeping on our knees. He wouldn't poop, and he loved beeing pet. So of course, I will probably love mi chickens as much as I love that little rooster, and I will not eat them, haha. I will keep them for company and for the eggs, unless I really have to take a cruel decision
.
I guess my main problem will be to sex the chicks and keep only the females, as I don't want a rooster. That will be the hard part, but I saw you had some pages on sexing and I read about it! Maybe I'll get some sex-linked chicks, for a first it will be easier.
Talk to you later,
Sabrina
