New from Rochester, Washington State

Moved to Rochester about 6 months ago and slowly building our 14 acre farm up. I've always wanted a farm and now that I'm retired military and business owner, I finally found the perfect life partner who wanted the same.

Since moving in with our 2 horses and alpacas, our first addition was three doe goats, half-sisters; laMancha, Toggenburg, and ND crosses, about 1.5 years each, given to us for free by my guy's boss. Rosie is the lead Doe, Lilly is her almost-twin sister, they both have laMancha ears and horns. Daisy is the youngest/smallest with ND ears and horns. They older girls pick on her and thus she has become my underdog favorite. We recently picked up a 4mo buck "Pnut" and then his mom Cookie a week later because she got depressed. They are so cute together! Also lM/TGB/ND crosses, but from a different farm.

Next were Prince George and Princess Kate; peafowl bought for me as a Christmas gift. . I've had peafowl before and love them to death. So beautiful!

Since then, 2 doe and 2 buck Jersey Giants, received at 8 weeks old. I've never had bunnies before and they sure are cute and cuddly! and HUGE.

We've been building our Chicken Penthouse (100sf of PURE SPOILED ROTTEN) and will have that ready soon for our incoming pullets, poults, goslings and ducklings.

I have been a member of BackyardChickens.com since 2010, anyone else?

Hello and welcome to BYH! Glad you joined us! Nice bunch you have over there in "Not-NewYork" Rochester lol! Please share some pictures, we love pics!
I'm in update NY, we have 9.5 acres. We currently have 1 dog, 2 hens and 2 cows. Later down the road we'd like to add pigs and maybe ducks.
I think we have some folks who are BYC members and we have some retired military as well if I'm not mistaken (from reading their journals).
Please feel free to browse around and join in conversation.

RollingAcres, my partner was born and raised in Rochester NY, and now he lives in Rochester WA. Pretty funny.

Welcome from southern WA!

Welcome to Backyardherds. Goats are my thing and I want to get chickens again as well. I am originally from South of Rochester NY and now located in the country side of VT. I absolutely love it here! Pics are in order when you have time.
