I've always had a love for animals but have always put my nursing career above my personal live, for 33 yrs. A few years ago, I started day dreaming about maybe someday owning dairy goats and studying on it. Well, knowing that that's all it was, a dream, I decided to start small. I started studying on chickens.
In March, I bought 4 barred rock pullets and 2 mixed banthams at Royal King's grand opening in Circleville, Ohio. I didn't think that I would end up with 2 very strange looking fellows in the bunch!
I was surprised about all of the poopy mess, but I still love them. I find myself over washing my hands. I wonder if this is because it's a new change for me or my career making me ocd. There is a lot of super infections out there in hospitals and long term care facilities that are difficult and impossible to irradicate.
I even tried to pen potty them. Ha, Ha! I put 2 potties in the pen. One in each of the back to corners of the pen with a perch over. There is more pooh in the pots than anywhere else.
