Title: Hello from Norfolk
Post by: Witchy on February 03, 2018, 10:17:06 am

Hi All,
Been keeping and breeding chickens for around 14yrs now. Also have cats, dogs, snakes and degus. My dream for many years has been to have some pygmy goats. I'll own up to bring a little crazy and love playing human skittles in my powered wheelchair  :roflanim: I'm a fact freak, an avid reader and nature loved.
Hopefully I'll find some likeminded people here.
Keep smiling
Witchy

 :wave: Hello from an expat Norfolk Dumpling.  Don't your other pets go after the degus?

Thank you for the warm welcome  :wave:

Chickens, we currently have Silver Duckwing Welsummers, Buff Orpingtons, Cream Legbars and a pair of very old lavender bantam araucanas.

The dugus, which are a rodent similar looking to gerbils, but the size of rats live in a huge cage and the dogs and cats do little more than watch them.

I've realised I missed my 2 marginated tortoises off the list  ;D

 :wave: welcome to the site.

I hope your tortoises don't feel marginalised because you forgot them.
