Future Crazy Chicken Lady in NEPA (north east Pennsylvania), here!

Your profile pic is a riot!

Update! I brought my chickens home on July 25 of last year and the flock has grown to nine. Here are a few photos!I now have the original coop that I designed and built, and I also have a nursery coop that I found on Craigslist for $50. Needed a new roof and nesting box floor. You can see the heat lamp glow!

Your flock is beautiful!

Thank you! My Columbian Cochin Bantam rooster, Jules, is my favorite. Shhh!

Welcome to Backyard chickens, you are going to seem awfully normal among so many crazy chicken people but, don't despair. We have had a Conehead and now we have a Mermaid., BTW does it run in your family?. Do you have to travel with a portable pool?

I confess being a Conehead caused me problems but the BYC folks embraced me just the same. You're gonna love it here.

Welcome to BYC! Diva, get back in your corner now....and take your meds...that's a good girl. She just thinks she's a Conehead, @DIYgirl and because we love her we just let her. I'm Blooie. I'm old, adorable, and I love my grandkids so everyone here indulges me.

You are way smarter than I am, building your coop before you get your chickens. I had 22 of the little boogers in a brooder in a tiny 8'X9' office here in our old trailer house, and hadn't so much as put pencil to paper. <sigh> Ah, the good old days.... If I had it do do over again I'd built the coop first and brood the chicks right out there but we don't always get do-overs, do we? I evicted them to the as yet unfinished coop when they were only 5.5 weeks old and now I just put new chicks out there from the start. I find I like them much better that way!

I'm not sure why you were unable to post a photo in a reply to a post...you should be able to. Hmmmm Now I have something to ponder! Anyway, again welcome. Be sure you carve some time for us into that schedule of yours!

Hello!

Welcome to BYC and the coop! There's a lot of great peeps here! Feel free to ask lots of questions. But most of all, make yourself at home. I'm so glad you decided to joined the BYC family. I look forward to seeing you around BYC.

Hi and a warm welcome. Loved your introduction. We are all a bit chicken nuts here (and some are simply nuts) but either way, we all have a great time here on BYC and hope that you will too!

All the best
