Hi there!
I’m Ashley and I’m living my dream with my chickens and ducks! I’ve always been a city slicker but last year we moved to the country and this year, it’s all things birds, gardens, and mini-homesteading.
I have 16 chickens and 5 ducks currently. 3 Ameraucanas, 3 Black Copper Marans (1 cockerel), 3 Olive Eggers, 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Polish cockerels, 1 Lavender Orpington cockerel, 2 sweet (and hopefully pullet!!) Silkies. We also have 3 Khaki Campbells, 1 Swedish Blue, and 1 White Pekin. We’ve got some downsizing to do. We’ve learned this week that we have a few too many boys. Anyone think I should replace them this year? I mean, how do you actually stop getting birds?
I love my girls. They are nosey and sweet and consistent. And in a couple months, they will be my first pets that actually earn their keep! Come on, rainbow basket!!
I have 3 littles. I homeschool. I’m diving into canning, gardening, chickens, composting, making just about everything from scratch. I used to be an OR nurse until a few years ago. Traded my RN badge for a SAHM badge. My husband is an electric lineman and supports me in all my old lady, country adventures. I also enjoy cooking, baking, and crocheting.
I found BYC because I’ve googled just about everything under the sun while getting started in all this. Figured it was time to finally join the community. Thankful for this site! Excited to learn more from you all!
