> I am George aka Ol' George to distinguish me from other Georges. We Georges are funny that way, the result of being mistaken for one another frequently. I live in southern New Hampshire, the Granite State. Normally we would be buried in snow at this time of the year, however this year we have alternated between tee shirt weather and just plain cold, no snow. However the storm working it's way east shows promise.
> I have had chickens off and on since the great flood. Noah's Ark and all that stuff. So I have made all the mistakes that are possible. Right now I have a small flock of Silkies, 2 roosters and 3 hens,and 5 Ameraucana, a roo and 4 hens. They live in separate converted horse stalls. The horses moved. The Silkies free range in good weather while the Ameraucana seldom leave the coop. Those are some strange chickens. You can see them in me photo albums.
> My main source of information is my own experience and this group. When there is a question I refer to "Storey's Guide to RAISING CHICKENS" by Gail Damerow. Available at better farm stores and amazon.com.
> There are some things I do not touch. I will not attempt to identify chicks in the hatchery specials. I got into big trouble when I told some lady her chicks were baby seagulls. As I no longer check in every day I am now good for emergencies. If your chicken gets it's head stuck in a peanut butter jar don't call me.
> Other than that I'm really a nice guy and willing to offer all kinds of free advice on just about anything except teenagers. Some of it even about chickens.
