I have a wonderful husband, and was just married this past September we have a house in Dutchess County NY.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? :D

I found BYC when I got my first chicks, they were day old chicks and I had too many questions that 4 different books couldn’t answer. So Everytime I did a google search the only people who had the answers to my questions, or any relatable/useful knowledge were the memembers of the BYC community. I needed advice/help/knowledge and people with experience to help me, so I joined just so I could gain the knowledge needed in raising backyard chickens ☺️
