This is an article about and dedicated to each of my best friends here on BYC. Y'all are amazing.
TwoCrows
I met Leyla when I first joined BYC. She was one of the members who first welcomed me. She and I then started chatting on the public messages in our profiles. We found out that each of us had added new chicks to our flocks that year. We shared our different tips on introducing. Later on, when one of my pullets got sick, we started PMing. We haven’t stopped since! Now we talk about everything. She is just like a long lost friend to me!. She is a very talented writer on BYC and I love sharing articles with her. She is now a moderator for BYC as well, which is great! It's been so great seeing how we've both advanced on BYC over the years.
I feel so free to talk to her whenever I want. She has really made an impact on my life and is such a blessing to me. When I think about amazing BYC members, Leyla comes to mind immediately.
Americano Blue
I first saw Americano Blue post in the game and joke area. I noticed in her signature that her dog, Griz, had just died. I PM’d her and said how sorry I was for her. She wrote back and from then on, our friendship blossomed. Now she and I are great friends and even call each other sister. We love to talk about our dogs and life in general. Who knew that a single sentence of sympathy could make such a wonderful friendship begin?
MyPetNugget
I can’t quite remember how MyPetNugget and I first met but I remember we became friends right away. We used to chat on each other’s public messages nearly every day. Through PMs, we connected more than ever! She is such an encouraging and supportive friend. She is bursting with kindness and so joyful. She has recently left BYC for reasons unknown. I miss her terribly but she will forever hold a special place in my heart!
ChickenChick11
I welcomed Bella when she first joined. We then left messages on our public boards every week. She is a very nice girl! We now PM occasionally and share new things going on in our lives. As I like to say, she's one of my best rant buddies. It's nice to have a person who will listen to anything I have to say and offer advice and encouragement. She is an encouraging and cheerful friend whom I count myself very lucky to have in my life!
SilkieCuddles
Silkie cuddles is an amazing girl! She is SO kind, encouraging and sweet. All she wants to do is include people and make them feel appreciated. She stands by me and makes me feel like she truly cares about our friendship. Like Bella, she's a wonderful rant friend and never fails to make me feel as though she's got my back. She is a wonderful person and I'm so glad we have met through BYC.
CluckCluckGirl
Cluckcluckgirl PM’d me once and said she would love to talk about chickens and share all sorts of chicken stories. So, that’s exactly what we did! Now we still PM (often about many things besides chickens), talk on our boards and leave comments on each other’s articles. She is very fun to talk to and is one of my very close friends here on BYC.
RodNTN
Isabella is one of the sweetest peeps I know here on BYC. She always brings a smile to my face and never ceases to make me feel loved.

I look froward to getting to know her even more and I am blessed to have her as one of my BYC buddies.
