Hello, I am Nicole. I am in North Central Florida.
Long story, but I just became a stay at home mom, my mom just moved in, and my husband had never been to Rural King. he wanted a kayak, he found the kayak, and he knew i had wanted chicken for a bit. To redirect my new stress of my mother moving in, he said do it.... no he really said "I can't get a kayak without you getting chicks" He and his family had many chicken over the years, it's not that hard you can do it. So he got a kayak and I got 15 chicks. in my living room. because well, my 2 dogs, 3 cats, several coral reef tanks, and a 22 month old son was not enough. oh and my mom, with her 2 dogs, 2 tortoises, 1 turtle, and 2 cats was not enough. HAHAHAHA. no. lol
well, I am sure you know I had to make another quick trip to Rural King. 6 more chicks later, we are up to 21. I know I have 6-7 breeds, but no clue on what they all are. lol. Isa browns, americana (hybrids right?) silver and gold wyandotte, buff orpington, RIR, black asian, and leghorns.. maybe a few more. with this venture I am hoping to have some pets that help with pests and added perk of eggs. I am sure to have some loss, but I am trying to learn all it can. Nest time I will def go through a hatchery, but we all start somewhere.
You can also find me in the Reef Tank forums, I raise seahorses and clownfish, lots of corals and I am working on breeding new species that have never been done in captivity so we can quit taking from the reefs. that got me started on sustainability and zero waste. I do aquaponics and work towards more self sufficiency without being out of touch. I grew up training dogs, and on horse farms. I suck at growing plants, so thats where the aquaponics comes in.
Please feel free to ask questions and steer me in the direction of stand out articles.
