A few of you fellow HT'ers may recognize me, but this is my first visit to BYC. Great forum so far!
We live in Wisconsin, and I got my first poultry last year, muscovy ducks (which we now have in pied, black, lavendar, chocolate and ripple). Just love them! This winter I finally got DH to agree to an order of chicks.
I'd only ever seen chickens on my step grandparents farm the few years they had them and they were nasty and smelly birds always confined to a coop. I didn't like chickens. DH's parents had chickens a few years when he was younger and he hated theirs as well. But after reading all the chicken posts on HT when looking for duck info, I got hooked!
I sold a few of the chicks from my March 7 order, but currently have left 5 White Rock roos (gonna try those for butcher - don't have room to raise broilers seperate), 5 Buff Orp pullets, 5 Wyandottes (2 BLRW, 2 GLW, 1 SLW) and 5 Araucana's (EE's I guess). I love to watch them and spend time with them. DH likes them now too, they are such busy bodies! I was only to keep 6 for layers, but DH is gonna let me keep whatever I want from the group that's left.
We also raise nigerian dwarf and mini mancha dairy goats, mammoth donkeys and white german shepherds.
Thanks for letting me babble and hope to make some friends here! Jenny
