Hello from Rockland County NY

[ducksupernewbie]

Hello Everyone,

I'm new'ish to the forums, we are still in the process of fixing the garden, so that it's suitable for chickens/ducks. So trying to find out as much as humanly possible before then.

Would LOVE to meet other people from Rockland County, NY, or around there!

Hello @ducksupernewbie and welcome to BYC!

I'm sure you will find all of the resources and information you are looking for here - BYC and community have been of tremendous value for myself and my wife(and our chickens!)

We don't have any ducks, thought my wife already mentioned maybe wanting to get some! I imagine, though, that the resident duck experts (https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks) will be happy to answer any questions you may have!

Most importantly, enjoy the ride!

Thanks,
T&S

Thanks Yorkshire! My husband is English, and from not too far from you.

Ooh where abouts? I bet he does not miss the English weather!!

 

[ducksupernewbie]

Well, he's not crazy close, he's from the West Midlands. I'm not sure about the weather, after the snowy winter we just had, he was yearning for some plain old rain!

LOL!! Plain old rain Compared to how far you can travel across the USA the West Midlands would be pretty close.
