Greetngs from Maryland! We live on a farm with chickens, pigeons, doves, horses, a solitary cow, pigmy goats, and sheep. My daughter adores her birds and is hoping to one day be a falconer. She is studying for her falconer's license at this time.

We have a variety of chickens, but would love to get some Welsummer Chicks. If anyone has some available, please let us know.

Enjoying the BYC site and perusing through the great recipes and also the informative threads.
