Thank you so very much for getting that song stuck in my head.G’Day from down under Mimi’s 13Welcome!
Why do I feel the need to break out with a rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas?

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.
If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your flock or other critters, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out![]()
Thank you so very much for getting that song stuck in my head.But, on the other hand, that is a great idea that I must begin working on, stat. So far, I absolutely love everything I have seen and/or read here on BYC and I can't wait to find and learn much more.
I am quite certain that I will be sharing more pictures and stories, simply because I have many of both.
P.S. I'm gonna get to work on my very own version of The Twelve Days of...Country Style!![]()
You are very funny. You make me giggle.Tee hee .. you are most welcome!
I have had a song worm for days now due to my FIL insisting on continually pulling down dead palm fronds and piling them up on the lawn. I then have to stand in the hot sun with the clippers breaking them down to garden bag rubbish size. Anyways, to cut a boring story short .. I did this the other day singing 'My Obsession with Fronds' in my head
[My Obsession With You - Ice House. Thought I had better put that in because Ice House is an Australian band you may have no idea about what I am babbling]
Please do share the song when you have it ready![]()
You are very funny. I actually looked that band up. They are very good. Since I keep my 18 month old grandson, I am constantly singing the cartoon songs, mostly in my head, but sometimes they slip out so everyone can hear them.Tee hee .. you are most welcome!

Thank you for this list of must haves/must dos. I am a reader of all things chickens, and I’ve got a list of everything I need. My problem is I think I have to have everything at once! Everything...Perfect coop, Perfect landscaping, every chicken breed, every chicken gadget, on and on and on. I’m about to kill my husband. Every day it’s something new he says. Oh well, it’s a sickness I tell him. All the books warn of salmonella, but what they don’t warn you of is “chickenitis.” It’s real, but thank goodness it’s not deadly.![]()
Glad you're here !
A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/ )
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.
Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. ( https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/ ) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!
One last thing, please get your chickens some Vaseline or bag balm to stave off frostbite before they get it! Baby, it's cold outside!![]()
