So I don't have any chickens yet, heck I don't even have the place for them. I figured since I have been lurking here for about 6 months and want to get chickens, I might as well join BYC. I am a stay at home mom of two beautiful and active boys, ages 4 and 1. We currently live on the border of Idaho and Washington, so I tend to jump from state to state as where I live since its literally 2 minutes and a bridge crossing. My family is spread across South Dakota and a few in Idaho, hubby's family is all over the U.S. and Hawaii.
My family says that I was born 100 years late since I love to garden, cook, can, and sew. I enjoy the fact that we get half a cow every year to split between 2 households, I like to know were my food comes from, that's why I want to have chickens, and maybe a goat, to go with my massive garden, my flower beds can no longer contain it where we are now, so I told hubby its time to buy a house. If my oldest had his way we would have sheep, cows, a camel named Bo Bo, a herd of horses and a bunch of dogs, and our indoor cats.
I love to can, I am in my 2 year of canning, and hubby is all for it as long as I make salsa for him. My husband is a tuner, he loves his fast cars and new top of the line gadgets, I gave up on trying to understand the "car world" and let him have his fun with his cars, so we make a lot of trips to Seattle for shows and Spokane for meets. I am more of a country girl, I love to go camping and four-wheeling. I am still working on convincing him to get chickens, so far he is indulging me on my "idea" but limits the number to 3 chickens and prefers no goats/horses, I think I can win him over just going to take a little sweet talking.
I doubt if you will hear much from me, I am more of a "lurk and learn" than a talker so I will now go back to lurking at least until I get my house and chickens. lol
