Hi, all. I signed up here some time ago, but since we live in a city that doesn't allow chickens, I hadn't gotten any. As just a wanna-be chicken owner, I felt a little weird about being here and didn't stick around.
In an act of civil disobedience and in a quest for good eggs, we're raising...
Here's just a short update on my daughter's FFA project poults we had indoors who needed to be relocated to the high school farm. It was over 100 degrees F. here and we were worried about them adapting to the heat outdoors since they had been pampered poults inside our home since we got them...
The poults haven't been under a lamp for several weeks now. They've gotten used to the cooler weather in the house, which is what causes concern.
I've moved them to a room in the house that's warmer by about 7-10 degrees warmer than the room they were in before and maybe I can find a way for...
My daughter is raising four turkey poults as an FFA project. It's our first time with poultry of any kind. The poults are 5 weeks old and have done really well so far. They're getting too big to have in the house any longer, but we're in the midst of a major heat wave here in central California...
My sis and I missed meeting you all on Saturday. I had the printed pics of those who posted pics, but only saw one person. I would have approached her to say "Hey" but we got shooed away because we were in the aisle where judging was happening. So, I thought it best not to bother her.
Anyway...
Oh my, what a handsome and lovely bunch you all are. I dare not post a pic of me, you might get scared away! I just might print these up and keep an eye out for you all.
So, if a couple of short middle aged women, one cuter and thinner (that would be my sis) than the other (that would be me...
My sis and I will be there. We can hardly wait. I'm the only one of the two of us on BYC, but neither of us has any ID pointing to BYC.
Since I have no clue what anyone here looks like, I guess I'll just walk up to random strangers and introduce myself.
Wait a minute...that's how I got this...
Looks like there are BYC folks getting excited about the Fresno show. I'm waiting for it with antici--------pation.
My sister and I will be there, both of us Portuguese girls with a genetic predisposition towards chickens. Neither of us have any chickens yet, but are looking forward to seeing...
Your goats are just gorgeous! How many breeds do you have?
We don't have acreage yet, so no goats at home. However, my youngest daughter has a Boer doe named Cosby at the school farm. Cosby is due to kid for the first time in March.
All the goats at the school are sweet, but one in particular...
Please accept my condolences. What a tragic loss. I'm glad you're safe, but so sorry for your little ones.
Best of luck with the eggs. I'll be thinking of you.

We live in a suburban housing tract with a little country all around. On three occasions we've heard possums snacking on the cat's food on our front steps.
It's been a real surprise each time. I always worry about my cats since possums have some serious teeth. So far, so good ~ everyone has...
I want to attend and am talking myself into not attending a Ren Faire symposium in Modesto in favor of chickies in Fresno.
I'd love to meet some BYC folks.
I'd love to be there especially since it's in my home town. There's something else I'd planned on attending, so I'm still in the process of deciding.
It would be pretty cool to meet some BYC folks, though.
Are we supposed to wear something to identify BYC members/ supporters? I don't have a...
