good evening,
welcome newbie. soon you will learn how circumvent the law and have plenty of chickens. just like the rest of these outlaws on here.. LOL

I got my blades sharpened and put the lawn mower back together. I learned a lot of shortcuts on how to do it. next time it will not take me days to accomplish the deed.

chk scrtch, I don't have their number at my finger tips. Annie has it in her book and she is at work right now.
I don;t know what she is charging. She has them listed on Puppy Find.
they have shots and dr certificates.

Hi, I’m Noelle. I live in Big Bend, Wisconsin. I’m relatively new (again) to poultry after a 20+ year stretch without any birds. Needless to say, the leaning curve begins again. I’ve learned so much on this site but am wondering if anyone is interested in having a get together near me. I’d actually be willing to host a cookout in my yard. I have room for lots of guests and their cars. Big Bend is a milwaukee suburb I suppose. Let me know if you’re interested! If we get enough response, we will collaborate and nail down a specific date and time. It would be great to visit - and learn from- fellow poultry parents!

Welcome to the Cheeseheads Noelle! That is so thoughtful of you to host a gathering. You missed the annual Cheeseheads bash the first weekend in June in the Clintonville area. I have not made it to the bash yet, but it sounds like a great time.

Tell us more about your chickens and such.

Hi there. To bad I missed it! I would have come! I have seven chickens of various common breeds (leghorn, NH red, barred rock, sex link, etc)- five cockerels and two hens. I’m really hoping I can keep them together. So far, so good. They’re only about three month old though. I’m cautiously optimistic but have my doubts. Since they’re pets and most of my friends fill my fridge with their eggs, if the roosters start not getting along, before I get rid of some I’ll place the two hens in different homes to see it that solves the fighting because I wouldn’t mind having a top flock at all as crazy as that sounds. I love the rooster personality.
And my true love is turkeys. I got 8 poults this spring and have 8 today. 100% success (I’m proud of that since I’m a greenhorn). I love these guys. Also just pets. I’m way to attached to butcher them. I realize - again- that makes me sound insane- but it’s the truth. I just love my birds. Spend tons of time with them.
As for my history with poultry- the last time I had them was when I was 26. I’m 43 now and don’t recall much of the lessons learned all those years ago. So it’s like starting over so this site is my lifeline!
What about your story?

Hi I am new too. Sounds like fun but I don't get to your part of the state very often.
