Shetland lover
Free Ranging
Hey everyone. After lurking for 3 years I'm finally taking the plunge... So, here goes:
1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? 2019, but I've loved chickens - and all animals for that matter - all my life!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 6 - a one year old rooster, 4 hens and a single (accidental) chick
(3) What breeds do you have? At the moment, we have a Shetland hen and five Pekins (Cochin Bantams). We started with ex-battery cage hens and the Shetlands. we've also had two Swedish Flower Roos whom I raised and rehomed.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Absolutely all of it but I love watching the babies grow and the ex-batts realising they are home.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? I love anything arts and craft related, reading, horse riding, being outdoors, cooking and baking. All kinds of things really. I'm never bored.
I can post photos if anyone is interested?
