I absolutely love BYC, I've learned so much. I'm brand new to the chicken world. Got my brooder setup ready, and waiting for a shipment of peeps. (My first chicks ever) I can't wait! I am from southwestern Wyoming, I have always wanted to raise chickens. Finally! I moved into a place where I can...
