Wow! Congrats!thumbsup

I have various chickens - including "RIRs", Turkens, Silkies, and EEs, Anconas, Cornish, Brown Leghorns, etc. I always have some sort of project going on - right now we're raising a batch of meaties. 4 rescued dogs. 4 rabbits, including 2 English Angoras! We also are branching out to Turkeys - right now 4 BBB, but 4 Midget White Turkeys are on the way!

Thanks everybody!  big_smile

"For Dummies" is a HUGE international brand and is a part of Wiley Publishing (they also do CliffsNotes and Betty Crocker).  I was approached by them back in October to help out and was thrilled to be a part of the project!

Kim and I worked hard to cram as much information as possible into the book but ended up having to boil it down to the most important bits to keep it under the pagecount max for the title.    Fortunately people can come to BYC after reading through the book to get a ton of detailed information.

BYC will be the perfect companion to the book for things like coop designs  and breed info and so much more!

BTW, Kim is a member of BYC and will hopefully post a hello here soon (she's a busy girl).

If you buy a copy and come to the California Chickenstock on August 1st (yes, this coming Saturday) I bet you could get Nifty to autograph it!  big_smile

Fantastic, and congrats!  I just did a search on Amazon for that this past month.  Who better than BYC and you to be a part of this one!

im so gonna get this when i come back

The silence that guards the tomb does not reveal God's secret in the obscurity of the coffin, and the rustling of the branches whose roots suck the body's elements do not tell the mysteries of the grave, by the agonized sighs of my heart announce to the living the drama which love, beauty, and death have performed.
