| Introduction and Welcome from Club President, Angela Fore | |
| By: Angela Fore Date: February 6, 2018, 9:29 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| My name is Angela Fore and I am the current 2018 President of | |
| Mobile Bay Area Backyard Chickens. On behalf of the Board of | |
| Directors and Advisory Board I would like to welcome you to the | |
| MBABYCC forum. The creation of this forum has been a labor of | |
| chicken love by Travis and Kathy Rayner and we as a club are | |
| deeply indebted to their tireless service and dedication to the | |
| forward movement of MBABYCC. It is our intention for this forum | |
| to be a place where you can share exciting news about your | |
| flock, ask questions from your fellow guests, research topics | |
| pertaining to poultry health and welfare as well as provide a | |
| venue for you to buy and sell poultry and other goods. This is | |
| truly an exciting time in our club's history! We have come a | |
| long way since the idea for a chicken club was conceived in Ed | |
| Williamson's heart and that first meeting took place at St. Elmo | |
| Feed and Seed back in 2011. We are so glad that you, our dear | |
| chicken family, are along for the ride! | |
| I have been a member of MBABYCC since 2014 and a member of the | |
| club Board of Directors since April of 2017. It is my pleasure | |
| and honor to serve as your current president. We have a great | |
| year of "firsts" planned for our amazing club so if you are not | |
| a paid member I would ask that you consider making the | |
| investment of 20.00 annually to receive the full benefits that | |
| our club provides for your entire family. We have monthly | |
| educational meetings where you not only learn about responsible | |
| flock management and win great door prizes but you also have the | |
| opportunity to spend time with others who love chickens as much | |
| as you do. We have two picnics a year, a Christmas party and | |
| various other activities planned throughout the year so your | |
| investment of 20.00 is money well spent. | |
| A little about my flock: Over the years I have fallen in love | |
| with rare breed Orpingtons. Currently I have 3 Gold Laced Black | |
| (1 rooster, 2 hens) , 3 Silver Laced (1 cockrel, 2pullets), 1 | |
| Splash, 2 Blue and 2 Splash/Mottled. They are loves of my | |
| chicken life and it seems l learn something new everyday from | |
| them. This summer, I am hoping to expand the flock with the | |
| addition of about 6 more Gold Laced Blacks. Orpingtons have the | |
| loveliest temperament and make a wonderful addition to your | |
| flock if you want docile birds that enjoy being handled. | |

| Awesome! I have so many kinds of birds, I am so addicted!! | |
| Peafowl, guineas, pheasants, chickens, turkeys, quail, ducks, | |
| geese, swans, emus, parrots, finches, doves. Did I leave | |
| anybody out? :) My chickens are free range and assorted. | |
| Besides eggs, their main job is to incubate the peafowl eggs | |
| because they do a much better job than I. My address is | |
| Robertsdale but I live very close to I-10, out in Rosinton. | |

| LOL I had been searching for emus for a few years and finally | |
| have a super friendly male and an older pair (that came from a | |
| closed-down petting zoo). Hoping to get a baby female from a | |
| farm in Florida soon. Would love to breed them and sell babies | |
| because they make the most wonderful pets! The older pair did | |
| not breed this year so I don't know what the deal is with them. | |
| If I do get the baby female then it's at least two years to | |
| maturity so this is long term. | |

| Hey Angela, I want to say your welcome and introductory | |
| speech/essay is most excellent. I am particularly impressed by | |
| the fact that you know when you joined the club and when you | |
| joined the board. I have done both, but couldn�t tell you when. | |
| I am glad to be a part of this great organization. Keep up the | |
| great work. | |
| Oh, I currently have 11 6-week old chicks: 5 | |
| mixbreed/turkens/silkies (two frizzled)& 6 hatchery chicks from | |
| St Elmo-2 Gold-laced Wyandottes, two Ameraucanas, and two Barred | |
| Rock pullers. In addition I have a single 10-week old Ayan | |
| Cemani pullet. My main mature flock of 2 roosters and 9 hens | |
| include the most beautiful English Orpington Rooster -He�s big, | |
| dark-colored, some kind of of split to lavender named | |
| Hoss(related to Elvis Wayne). My hens include 2 black sex-links, | |
| 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Barred Rock, one Hamburg, and several mix | |
| -breed hens. | |
| Also I am currently hatching some Marans eggs for adding to my | |
| flock and for two special Chicken Club friends. | |
