Oh wow, your flock is beautiful! I don't know much about
Orphingtons. Maybe you can do a breed spotlight LOL.
[/quote]It will be daylight at the next Board Meeting so you can
see them!! And if you will conduct the meeting I will be happy
to do a Breed Spotlight. I don't want to be presenting all of
the time, y'all will get sick of me. Lol
Sounds wonderful!

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.

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.

Thanks Randy! You are always so kind to me. I am kind of
partial to your big boy Hoss. ;)

Hi Angela. I'm so glad I found out about this group. A fellow
"Chicken Lady" and dear friend told me about y'all. My name is
Stephanie, we live in West Mobile. I had 12 "babies", but
unfortunately, on the morning of Good Friday, I discovered that
my father-in-law forgot to close my chicken house door and,
well.....now I have only 6 left. I look forward to everything
this group has to offer & welcome any hints, tips & advice.

Welcome to the coop Stephanie. We are so sorry to hear about
the loss of your babies. Most of us have suffered loss and we
can truly feel your pain. Hopefully, we can all benefit from
the MBABYCC and it's wealth of knowledge. Please consider
becoming a full club member and join us at our monthly
educational meetings.
Kathy,
MBABYCC Board of Directors

Hi Stephanie! First of all let me say that we too are so happy
that you are now a part of our group. Your name seems familiar
to me. Have we met at either a Tractor Supply Event or at ST
Elmo Feed and Seed? Please accept my deepest condolences on the
loss of your chicks. It doesn't take them long to hold a
special in your heart does it?
If you will check our calendar of events, you will see that our
next membership meeting (I will be posting more details about
the meeting in the next 24 hrs) is at The Jon Archer Center on
Schillinger Road, next Sunday 4-22 at 3:00 PM. Our topic for
this month is: Nutrition and the presentation is to be given by
the Nutrena Feed Representative, Bubbah Harrison. Please accept
my invitation to attend to see if joining our club as a
"supporting member" is something that would be right for you.
For 20.00 a year, you and the family members living in your home
can take advantage of our monthly membership meetings were we
provide an education on responsible flock management. We also
have two picnics a year, plus a Christmas party as well as other
fun opportunities to get together. Not only is our club a great
place to learn about backyard chicken keeping but it provides a
wonderful opportunity to meet and develop friendships with those
who love chickens as much as you do.
Once again, welcome to the coop Stephanie! If I can help you in
any way, please do not hesitate to PM me.
Angela
