[mapel walnut]

I want to hear everyone's looking back on it moments the ones were you cant understand how this happened until you it studently hits you for example i have a 24 week old bird who always runs up to me and nips at my fingers not hard but like just to tell me that its there and i couldn't figure it out until it hit me that when it was a two week old chick i would visit it and its 28 siblings and read my evening chapter of my book late at night and i would put my hand in to the cage and one bird would almost suck on my finger and then i would feed them one last time and went to bed so my fault i guess any way looking fowards to hearing all of yours

My "moment" is when I traveled to a farm during the first big outbreak of avian flu, when 4-H'ers couldn't show their chickens at county fairs. I went with the intention of bringing home THREE point-of lay hens.

I came home with FOUR. It was a sign of things to come.

Currently, I have 23, which is down a bit from my all-time high. And, over the years I've added runner ducks and American Buff geese. I'm just a girl who can't say no to a pretty avian face.
