You sent me an email asking for an update, here it is: Chickens are doing well now. 2022&2023 were not good years for us because of foxes. But I think we are a little better now. We're getting about 6 eggs a day from 10 hens, which doesn't sound great but I still have a few of my original hens that were hatched in our first year of chickens: 2016. So they are now 8 years old and not as productive, but because of the attachment to family we carry them in our flock. I do have a rooster. His breed is "Production Red" and he is about 13 pounds and we look forward to him being the father of the next generation for 2024 chicks. After that we'll grill him. If you want to know something specific, let me know.We have such a vibrant community here at BYC... tons of active friendly members. Of course, life gets busy, so I was thinking it would be fun to start a thread welcoming some of our peeps we haven't heard from in a while.
If that's you, come say hello and let us know what you've been up to.
(if that's not you, feel free to invite peeps you haven't seen in a while and say hi to those that post here)
