Wow, this post has taken an ugly turn & that wasn't the intent. My only intent was finding out why what was offered earlier doesn't hold true now. At one time these things with the exception of anonymous user (never came up to my knowledge) was agreed to be implimented on this board. Chat & PM's...
At this time I have no idea what your actual cost for the board is with the amount of members we already have & the features we've got so far. Why not ask each member (not mandatory membership) to donate at least $12 a year that most would otherwise pay for ezsupporter to go into the new BYC...
Gottoknit at the other BYC (not sure if she post here) posted a link to this coop at the other BYC. I have a coop book that has plans for the coop but it's not really in full detail & mostly pics. The plan sells on ebay for usually around $20. I've started a coop off the plan but it's slightly...
I've never been one to use the general forum. Seems at the other board it always get's moved into social. General is more like a waiting station for the post until they get moved where the mods wants them to be! roflmao
Actually when that chicken coop book was written she joined the BYC forum at ezboard & asked members for pics of their coop setup. The book info was basically taken off the ezboard site & so was the still life with chickens.
Just did a search & came up with a link to Patti Moreno who's trying to start a TV show on homesteading. It has a link to email her. Thought you may be interested in reading about her & her efferts.

PM's are my main request since I hardly ever check my email because I just don't remember or fail to take the time to check. Being onboard & having a new message show makes it a lot easier to contact another member. One message board I've posted at that is similar to this one allows 5 pm...
The ads are obtrusive. IMHO There are times I'd like to come here & read without everyone & their brother knowing I'm around. Last night I had ads on the top & bottom of the page. The chickenmaster tried once with this board & it wouldn't support the traffic. What makes you think it will now...
I'd be more inclined to visit more if this board had an anonymous feature. I know it doesn't matter to some but there are times I prefer to lurk & everyone not know I'm around if I don't want to post at the moment. Last night logged out I got ads on the top & bottom. Thought they were only to...
It's pretty standard that they be put down. They'll never be able to live a normal life with just 'regular' chickens. Now, on the occassion that you hatch one & not use it for fighting they can sometimes grow up normal. But, after they've been fought that's all they know. JMHO
This reminds me of a crazy dream I had the other morning. I woke up at 4:30 to my dog barking her head off. I got up & opened the kitchen door & their was some animal in the yard & the lights reflected in it's eyes & they were green. Didn't think nothing of it & got the dog shut up & went back...
roflmao@wagon!! I just put 4 of my chicks back outside in the garage. It got cold this past week & lost several of my 1 month olds so I brought the rest back in the house until the weather got better. Had a lamp on them but guess it wasn't enough.
I'm pretty much still a kid at heart & like to goof off & act like a Ditz sometimes. Also, i'd forget my head if it weren't connected to me. So, I came up with DitzzyChic.
I don't use DE & never have. My son also has allergies & asthma. The dust from the chickens is enough to choke him up. I don't need to add something to make it worse. JMHO
