Hello All,

I registered with your forum several weeks ago intending to jump right in and post; a death in my family kept me from doing do. Now here I am and ready to start chatting, learning and helping when and where I can.

A little about me. I live in the midwest section of the US, on a farm with my husband and our menagerie. We have dogs (german shepherds), a few assorted cats, ducks, geese and chickens. I've had chickens for quite a few years now. This is my first year with waterfowl and I have found my poultry niche with the geese. The two that I have are wonderful and I hope to have quite a few more.

I have the following breeds/species:
LF brahmas & seramas (both ends of the chicken spectrum), a handicapped crossbeaked silkie/cochin cross, and a lone white faced black spanish cockerel. Having no luck re-homing the WFBS, but he is content to take orders from my brahma roo, so he gets to stay. I will soon be re-homing the seramas, except one. I purchased one serama hen as a companion for my crossbeak and the serama has succeeded in creating an entire flock.

I have six runner ducks, a drake and five hens and a pair of call ducks. And finally, my loves - a pair of geese. Tuffy is an american buff gander and Lucy is a brecon buff (she was supposed to be an american buff too). It is Lucy that lead me to seek out your forum as information about the brecons is as scarce as the breed is here in the US.

I realize that the time difference between the UK and the US will create some difficulties in interacting with y'all, but I look forward to meeting you. :D
 
Hi there, so glad to have such an interesting new member on our Forum, welcome. We have several members from the USA and Canada, also other countries and continents, and it's always interesting to learn about ow people adapt their chicken keeping to various climates and conditions. Looking forward to hearing more about your varied flock.
 
Hi Ducksandgeese and welcome to the forum. The time difference doesn't present much of a barrier. We had a nail-biting dialogue with someone trying to hatch an abandoned goose egg, who lived in an apartment in Canada. It did hatch and was re-homed. Wrigley, a regular contributor, lives in New England with his increasing flock of chickens.
