2 Gallon Double Wall Fount
Reviewed by LeslieDJoyce

Hello,

I have been a member of BYC since 2007

and have been reading posts everyday since then but I have never

properly introduced myself

I'm not a big poster I believe I have only posted a couple of times :)

just wanted to say I enjoy this board and always look forward to reading all the post every morning while having my cup of coffee. I have learned so much from all of you guys and have made some wonderful poultry friends through this board.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!........

I suppose I can't technically welcome you to BYC, as you still joined before even my original account, so I'll welcome you to posting instead.

Anyway, hello, pleased to meet you, hope to see you around more now. Glad you've found the forum useful! It's also a great place to meet new people, after I started posting regularly I made some great friends.
