| Hi, I am Karen Strickland, board member and admin on this forum. | |
| I am learning along with everyone else. I will make mistakes and | |
| hopefully learn not to do that again. | |
| My flock consists | |
| of many breeds,1 or 2 of each. | |
| I have a mixed bag of layers and several roosters. | |
| I have silkies, frizzles and the resulting sizzles. | |
| I also have naked neck Turkins and mixes of Turkins and frizzles | |
| that I call Tizzles. | |
| Welcome to my coop!! | |

| Excuse me if I gush a little about you Karen but I would like | |
| for everyone to know the Karen I know. The Karen who is always | |
| ready to help everyone out at a moment's notice with advice from | |
| candling eggs with a cell phone to offering to share your | |
| Valbazen with anyone who needs it. You have the biggest heart | |
| and it meant the world to me when you came and sat with me | |
| during my husband's surgery. Now, that I probably have | |
| thoroughly embarrassed you I will stop gushing. ;D We love you | |
| Karen! | |

| Hi. Though I have moved and no longer have my chickens. I enjoy | |
| all the photo's of your chickens and chicken talk. When I do get | |
| back to mobile area. I go to my old home, and encourage the New | |
| owner to get chickens. Have tried talking them into joining the | |
| club. Will work on them again the next time I am in town. My | |
| Favorite Breed was the Orpingtons. I had Gold laced, Lavender, | |
| Buff Orpingtons. I also had an Americauna, Saggitta( which is a | |
| dual purpose bird. Both great layers and Meat Birds. They do | |
| grow quickly but don't suffer such fast growth that they can't | |
| walk or maneuver easily. Very sweet Chickens to be sure. I also | |
| had Ducks, Muscovy, Swedish, Pekin, Rouen, and Runner Ducks. I | |
| also raised and Hatched many Guinea's. When we moved on our | |
| property, we had so many ticks. The following year after we sent | |
| the Guinea's loose to free range, we never found a guinea on us | |
| when walking our property. Guinea's aren't for everyone. They | |
| are noisy to be sure. I found their noise a compfort. No one | |
| could get near our property with out the Guinea's sounding the | |
| alarm, and heading to where they either spotted, 2 leg intruder, | |
| 4 legged, or something that slithered. Eventually, when the time | |
| is right I am hoping to once again have a few chickens. I loved | |
| my birds, but really enjoyed the incubating of the eggs the | |
| best. Nothing sweeter than a newly hatching Chick, Keet or | |
| duckling. Might be my only post as I am not to savvy on this | |
| forum. I love photography and I know all those programs on my | |
| computer. But since Windows 10, I am only moderately successful | |
| getting my email. And I have no desire to learn about PFD or | |
| whatever they call these files everyone wants me to open to | |
| read. | |

| Hi Evelynn! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I remember | |
| your Gold Laced Orpingtons, you got your first group right | |
| before I got mine. We will always be Gold Laced Orpington | |
| Sisters. :) Hope everyone is doing well and in good health. | |

| Lynn, | |
| I wish we could have guineas in the City...but they are too | |
| noisy, etc. Many times they are better than a watchdog! :) We | |
| do miss you having chickens...maybe one day you will "come | |
| home!" :) | |
| In regards to computer, programs and such... I have used a | |
| computer for many years. I remember when the internet was very | |
| limited, no email, no pictures, no videos, just data (written | |
| stuff...mostly provided by the government). There were no | |
| forums or endless websites and Facebook didn't exist. Over the | |
| years, I have had to learn and relearn as things changed...none | |
| of that is as easy as it was a few years ago (could be an age | |
| related issue for me!) :) I use Facebook...but I have reached a | |
| point where I do not like the invasive and addictive nature of | |
| Facebook. While I still use FB, a little, I have weaned | |
| myself away from it (that was harder than giving up chocolate!) | |
| LOL. | |
| That said...I personally prefer a forum (like this) over a | |
| Facebook group. Why? ...because it allows more autonomy and | |
| topics can be broken down into different pages or groups to keep | |
| similar topics together. It also allows us to regulate the | |
| content...we can even, legally, sell chickens here! :) Is it | |
| different (compared to Facebook)?...yes. But, the best way to | |
| work the forum is just to post, experiment, plunder and look | |
| around. It is a great tool and just like you had to learn the | |
| photo programs on your computer, it won't take long you will | |
| feel right at home using the forum. | |
| OK...I'm just rambling on this morning! I may need to check and | |
| see what Kathy has added to my coffee! Hope you have an amazing | |
| day...and I am glad to see you here and using our Forum. Please | |
| call on me if I can help you in any way! Thanks! :) | |
| Travis :) | |
