newbie saying hello and thanks

[wanderbugs]

Thanks! Nice to wake up to a bunch of new responses to my first query about our chick's dodgy wings! This is a great place for info and support- I'm loving our journey into chicken keeping so far

I should probably introduce myself a bit more. We are a family of four humans. A Canadian and a Scot, with two wee boys, 4 and 2. We recently moved to Belgium from Canada and so far have added just 8 chicks and a baby rat to our family. Our cat went out a few weeks ago and didn't come back so I wouldn't be surprised if someone comes home with a kitten or puppy any day now

We've been wanting chickens for a few years now. We're hoping the experience will be good and when we move back to Canada in a few years we'll find somewhere to live with a bit more land and a lot more chickens! We also grow veg, as best we can in a rental property, love the outdoors and spending time together.

I imagine I'll be on here often for info and periodically with questions. I have queries about chickens in the vegetable garden and curiosity about how others care for and house their flock. I'll be back.

Thanks again,
Siobhan
