I am an expat who first kept hens in Nigeria in the 70s. Now I live in the South Pacific and I started keeping hens again in 2008.
My hens are varied in terms of whether they are "mine." I have wild Gallus gallus roaming in my garden and next door in the bush (undeveloped property), then I have semi domestic hens local to this area that were abandoned by their owner. I feed these and hope to tame one or two to get eggs. My own hens are imported from New Zealand and I have three left out of ten. Our locals steal hens and it is heart breaking at times.
I garden, snorkel, (house is on the ocean), crochet and read books. Avid Facebook fan as I get all my news from this.
I am retired, live in the South Pacific where we contend with cyclones and earthquakes. Had a 6.4 earthquake today but it was far away and brief. Cyclones are interesting as I have to make plans to protect my hens everytime. We also have two dogs and a cat.
