Hi all.
It is Bojangles from the old PSO site here to introduce/reintroduce myself! New site, new home so thought the new name would reflect the influence my Italian friends had in teaching me about farming, gardening and poultry over the last ten years.
It had been quite awhile since I logged on to PSO as some sort of site maintenance last spring would not let me log on. So needless to say mannnnnny months later when I tried again I see PSO is now become PTO. Nice to see familiar names on this site.
I have had a busy last year or two with a move to my life long dream of a hobby farm over a year ago. It has been a lot of hard work and fun and a plethora of new "farm" things to learn. I hope we get to stay here for many years to come and I ( and hopefully my kids) will value every second here.
I now have the privilege of keeping my horses and chickens at home and I don't think a day has gone by when I don't smile when I hear my roosters crowing or see my horses roaming their paddocks. I had a lovely coop built last summer and I keep my two flocks secure there with the Fort Knox of chicken yards. They do get to free range (one flock at a time) when I am home to keep an eye on them. I still have a lovely colorful array of chickens and eggs with Ameraucanas, Easter eggers, black and blue copper Marans , two lavender orpingtons and several mixes of the above. As in years past I have a couple specific crosses planned for this spring and am still hoping for that all elusive purple egg! Anybody have any luck with that since I have been off air?
