Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Intro
Hi, I just joined your group. My name is Cat, and I live in southern
Indiana. I live with my husband, two cats, a dog, and 13 chickens.
I have had the chickens for about 6 months now . I have a Buff Orpington
Rooster, 4 Buff Orpington hens (one of which is sitting on some eggs right
now), and 3 Gold Lace Wyandotte hens, all of which have free run of our yard
and the Landlord's yard. I also have a White Silkie, a blue and white
Silkie mix rosster, a Silkie/Cochin mix rooster, a jet black Silkie/Polish
mix hen, and a Gold laced Polish. Not sure if the Silkie and Polish are
hens or Rooster's yet. I am hoping for Hens, because it will be rough
having four roosters and one hen. I do plan on getting some Silkie hens in
the near future. The Banties are all kept in a pen separate from the larger
chickens. It is a large pen, the length of our trailer, so they still have
lots of room to run.
We have the chickens for eggs, and the ones we have now, especially the
Banties, are pets, but any future chickens will provide some meat if they
are not hens kept for laying. Of course, hubby will have to do that as
there is no way I can do it.
Looking forward to being part of the group and getting to know everyone and
learn from all of you. I am new to raising chickens.
NAMASTE, CAT
