Hello,

My name is Jim, I live in Arlington Texas. I joined the site to learn more about keeping chickens while my tractor is being built by a friend. Great library of articles! Still reading through them all now. Looking forward to learning from everyone here and posting my updates as I progress.

Thanks,

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens
