Good morning!
Im AGstudy (cause I like studying AG, wow!)
I have 17 chickens and 8 guinea fowl. Males and females. I have had poultry since I was a kid and love spending time with my birds. They are such characters! I have a passion for animal behavior and enjoy watching all their interactions.
As for breeds: I have had Plymoth Barred Rocks, Buff Orphingtons, Rhode Island Reds, Cream Legbars, California Whites, White Leghorns, Brown Leghorns (light brown type), Barnvelders and Egyptain Fayoumis. I just have pearled guineas.
All my birds are for eggs only.
The last few years have been crazy. I have been working to reduce a sudden onslaught of parasite issues (tapeworms, mites, coccidosis). I made some major changes, but now have things down to a dull roar. Also, I have stubbornly been mixing my own feed, which has been full of challenges (various pests: weevils, sawtoothed beetles, booklice, mold) and learning experiences (I know way more now about mineral interactions than I ever learned in any nutrition class!!!).
My line of work is Plant Science, and I am a licensed crop consultant.
Nice joining the team!
