Looking back over my 2 years on the forum it seem to me how things have moved on loads.

Firstly it was all eglu talk, then exciting cube talk, then the turn came of the WIRs!

 

Now it seems like the main discussions are hatching chicks & dispatching chickens for food.

What will we be talknig about this time next year? :lol:

We're approaching my chook keeping anniversary, my first five chickens came home on August 8th last year. Who would've thought that less than a year later I'd have 8 hybrids, 3 ex-batts, 3 meat boys, 4 girls I hatched myself, a Silkie & her 4 Brahma chicks, 9 pure breed chicks in my brooder and 24 eggs incubating in the garage :roll::lol::lol::lol:

 

Let me be a warning to others! :shameonu::lol::lol::lol:

Yes ANH and myself are the only sane ones who still only have their original flock :lol::wink:

 

I have to say one of the reasons is that my three girls get on so well and make hardly any noise that I am a little frightened to rock the boat and add any. I don't want to upset the neighbours. We have had a good think about having some chicks, especially when Peaches was broody earlier in the spring and I do keep seeing beautiful bantams that I would love. I do have a feeling my flock may grow next year. My youngest will be at school in Sept and so I will need more things to take my time up.

 

I don't know if it counts but I have gained 2 guinea pigs since joining the forum and I was inspired to get them by reading the guinea pig section of the forum.

 

 

I have really enjoyed watching everyone elses flocks grow, seeing pics of chicks and new hens. I have lived vicariously through you all, especially Tasha...who I think may eventually turn her whole back garden into a chicken run :lol:

I was going "me, me :D ", then saw Tasha's and your posts :lol: .

 

I've not expanded for just the same reasons as you :? . Also, my WIR is fabulous but I think it would be a bit small for 5 :( . Although, as I'm lucky if I get one egg a day at the moment, I have been pondering whether I should get two new girls :wink: .
