Wow!

Its the most snow we’ve gotten in the 9 years we’ve lived here!

 

[Suzz]

Oh my!!!

Lucky me I get to go out every time it snows shake all the snow off the roof and move it away from sides cause Im sure it can’t support all the weight but I’ll do anything for my ladies.

BYC's 14th Annual New Year's Day Hatch-Along - 2023
Chilly Coop Contest!
Ends February 28th, 2023
​

Welcome to BYC's Chilly Coop Contest. Some coops are purchased kits, and some are custom-crafted. Some coops are made of recycled wood, and some are painted. One thing that all of our coops share in common is a place for our feathered friends to lay their eggs and to keep their fluffy butts safe and warm in the winter. We want to see those cozy cottages and fortified fortresses this winter.

Prizes

First	$50 BYC Store Gift Certificate or a 1-year PFM ($60 value) for yourself or a friend.
Second	$30 BYC Store Gift Certificate or a 6-month PFM ($35 value) for yourself or a friend.
Third	$15 BYC Store Gift Certificate or a 3-month PFM ($20 value) for yourself or a friend.
