Younger Guy Saying Hello from Alabama!

[rcbaughn]

Just as the title says, hello from Jasper, Alabama!!! I am a 25 year old guy who is just working a job and looking to get into raising some sort of bird. Can't decide whether chickens, ducks, guinea hens, pheasants, or geese are right for me! I am originally from Lynn, Alabama but have since moved to Jasper to live with my mom for a while till I enroll in college again. Taking a break from it all, hence why raising an animal is on my mind! As if my Weimaraner doesn't already take too much of my time, money, and effort up!

I seriously look forward to meeting a lot of you guys and gals and learning a lot too. I have already picked up so much good information and I can only imagine how much more there is to be learned on here. Thanks again though for this awesome online community and I look forward to getting me a flock going in the next month!

Greetings from Kansas, Cory, and

! Pleased you joined us! Of the birds you listed, I think chicken might be the easiest - just my opinion. Might want to start with them and see how you like it. Also, you can chat with some local poultry folk in the AL thread of the link below. Good luck and have fun!

everything loves chickens(for lunch), you may have to restrict your weimaraner to visits thru the fence, or only on short lead

Oh I don't think he would really hurt them! He is scared of my mom's apple head chihuahua so I think a broody hen would stomp him out no doubt! Ha! But yeah, I am probably going to go with chickens at first once I get my coop all nailed down and figured out. Definitely excited about the future of my little place.
