I just noticed the new BYC friend award I received!!! Oh my gosh, I am so honored and touched by this award! Thank you to BYC and all of the wonderful friends I have made on here! You are all so awesome and such a joy to be around!!!
I looked up the other folks that received this award...
OK, I know this article has been referenced many times here on BYC but when I tried to find it I got very frustrated (mainly because so many folks have referenced this article without the link, that the amount of hits you get during a search are ridiculous). Well this morning I found it while...
DH and I have had to rerack our retirement plans. He is working now but was out of work for over 3 years and we went through most of our retirement savings during that time. I am on disabilty due to degenerative disk disease. Now we are starting from scratch and don't think retirement here in...
Ok. New rules! Due to the laborious task of trying to get all these names into the opening post I ask that you please...
#1. Don't repeat a name already on the list
#2. Submit new names in alphabetical order
#3. If you care which category your suggestion is placed in then list that as...
Ok, I'm tired of hunting for a job and I'm feeling a little let down since I just found out that a job that I was soooo wanting, and was exceptionally qualified for was not even submitted correctly due to the bugs on the site I went through to submit it. Now it's too late to do anything about...
I'm expecting 50 purebred ameraucana chicks from Chick Hatchery in less than 2 weeks (John Blehm's birds) and I am sharing the order with 7 other people. I'm worried now because I've been reading these posts that talk about folks being happy when they only have a couple of dead chicks in the...
Ok I know that some folks have strong opinions on religion and related topics so please be respectful, positive and open minded. I did something yesterday that I wanted to share because I am very excited about it!
I became an ordained minister!
I did this because some friends of mine wanted...
These two standard Golden Lakenvelders are $20.00 for the pair (lowest price I'll accept) and I don't want to split them up since they are very attached to each other. They are hatchery pullets so I can't attest to purebred status but they are beautiful girls! They are currently laying, yes even...
Ok the holidays are over and I've given most of my really cute crochet projects away as gifts. I made a lot of hats and scarves (I should've taken pics, they were very cute!), a kid's sweater and a couple of baby blankets. No layettes since there were no babies born recently.
Now I'm looking at...
or anywhere in between? Want to share an order of pure bred, large fowl, black ameraucanas? Straight run only from Chick Hatchery (he's a breeder and president of the Ameraucana Breeders Club, and doesn't sex his chicks). I have to order a minimum of 25 and I only want 5 or so. I will be...
I wanted to order 25 ameraucana chicks from Chick Hatchery for this spring. They don't sex their chicks first and I wanted pullets only, but I can't find anyone else that sells purebred, standard, ameraucanas. I don't want EEs this time, I'm looking for the pure blue eggs and this guy knows his...
Hey fellow Nevadans and friends of Nevadans! Welcome to the Nevada thread!!! Our thread is growing by leaps and bounds so we have added a few pages so you can find all things Nevadan, including our precious Nevada friends and neighbors. This is a great thread and thanks to you all it's getting...
My neighbors think I'm the only one, in town, raising chickens. Anybody else out there in Reno raising chickens in your backyard? Yes I live right in town not far from the down town area (I can see Circus Circus from my window). Please tell me I'm not the only one in town.
Our new coop is almost done!!! I'm so excited! I've posted pics on one of my pages. The ideas for the design came from BYC and related links.

Let me know what you think. We concentrated on function first and consideration of...
Hi everyone! I'm new to BYC (just signed up a few minutes ago) and my name is Sunny. My husband, Steve, and I are from the Bay Area in CA but currently live in Reno, NV. We are very recent empty nesters, except for the animals. We have 2 dogs, 1 bunny, 5 large pond fish and, of course, the...
