What are your other hobbies beside poultry husbandry?

[Jayla Warren]

I would love to know more about what you do besides poultry keeping. I tried to come up with every hobby/pastime I could think of, but please post and give us the details if I missed yours. Also, feel free to post with pictures or info to show off your multitudes.

Thanks everyone!

I would add animal training! It’s more of a job than a hobby, but some people (like me) think of it as both!

I was thinking that last night. Animals are so important to almost all of us, it makes sense they would be a big part of our lives. Maybe I should have put that where fashion and shopping are, because I am not sure how many of us are into that. I hope someone is so that I didn't put it on there for no reason.

Well, it’s a long list but those are my main favorites .View attachment 3502125View attachment 3502126View attachment 3502127i grow cats in pots and I have a moat full of fish that is stopping my cats from crossing the bridge, lolView attachment 3502131

It is like there is a magical land right outside your house. And the kitty in the pot is so adorable.

They have a way of being so majestic even though they are so small individually. We once watched a Russian Hive Swarm, and it was actually once of the most breathtaking experiences I have ever had. Almost made up for losing the hive.

It happens to all beekeepers. Healthy hives are going to reproduce. Some colonies I manage, and others get ahead of me. Watching and standing in a swarm is breathtaking. One swarm I had was so loaded with honey/nectar the air smelled so sweet it attracted butterflies. To stand there and listen to the roar with the sky full of bees and butterflies was something I'll never forget.

That sounds absolutely amazing.
