    Hello from Wet Western Washington!

    I've been lurking here often, since back in August, but haven't had a chance to post, life hit a crazy spell about then. May have had something to do with getting 3 chickens! They were given to us. Right before we got them we read BYC a little which we kept getting from Googling about...
