I have received several emails for some transparency. What role do I play in the poultry world? Who is behind this website?
About me: I have lived in a country setting all my life and have raised, on and off, goats, chickens, ducks, pheasants, turkeys, roller pigeons, quail etc... The only big roll I may have had in the poultry world is working and helping my kids in 4-H, and I miss it as they are grown now. I purchased the farm we live on about 25 years ago here in NW Indiana. I worked as an ironworker most of my life and started my own company in 2009, but unfortunately, I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2013. I went through the treatments and was cancer-free for 2 years before it returned. I was then setup with more treatments and then received a harsh stem cell transplant. I managed to keep my business going somehow but eventually had to sell it in 2021 due to severe side effects. I am retired now and decided to get back into poultry for my grandkids. I would like to thank Pocketful of Sunshine Farm for being the first user to send me some constructive feedback and offering suggestions for the site. Take a minute to visit her site if you haven't yet. You have my interest in your breeding program and colorful eggs. I have always needed to keep busy in my life and being retired at 58 years old leaves me more time for things I enjoy most.
About our farm: The farm we live on is about 75 acres and did consist of farmland and woods. 20 years ago, I worked with the NRC and DNR to convert 12 acres of farm ground into a permanent shallow water wetland. I also have a passion for planting trees, so about 15 years ago, working with the state forester, I converted about 14 acres of farmland into a hardwood restoration, planting approximately 11,000 seedlings. Three years ago, I decided to convert the last of the farm ground and planted a little over 3,000 more hardwood seedlings. I also enjoy planting fruit and berry trees, bushes on our farm that do not ship or store well in stores or that take little to no human intervention to produce, such as pawpaw, che, kousa dogwood, persimmon, honeyberry, chestnut, heartnut and many more.
About the website: As I mentioned earlier, I have always had a desire to stay busy, so I have dabbled over the years in creating a few websites. Wanting to get back into poultry for a hobby with my grandchildren, I was amazed at the number of people that have been taken advantage of on social media groups by scammers. This is what drove my interest in creating this site. I went on a search for the best and most secure auction software and after a long search Chickbid.com was born! This is a very safe and secure site with many features that I hope will grow and become the best website for buying and selling poultry!
