BYC has been my lifeline these past few days. I just finished up my first ever hatch
(got 8 out of 12 total, pretty happy with
that!) so of course I had days like this
this
and this
My boyfriend is the type of person that is super laid back, so nothing stresses him out. I, on the other hand, am the opposite
Anytime
I had a question or concern, needed advice or help, or just needed support and a virtual hug, BYC was there for me. Since this was my
first hatch, I of course freaked out about every little thing, and without the care and wisdom of the chicken lovers on this forum, I think I
would've ripped my hair out somewhere along the way. I will never again google any chicken-related question, I know that if I want a
reliable, professional, FAST opinion, to come straight here! The kind people here were able to almost instantly turn my worry and
anxiety around, and I really can't express my appreciation for that. Thank you so much every one of you!!
Now I am officially a surrogate chicken mama to 8 little chicks, who are a product of our red-sex link rooster (Rocky) and 2 of our RIR
hens (Goldie and an unnamed hen).
I look forward to watching them grow and develop their own little personalities. I'm also the mama to 2 vietnamese potbellied pigs
(Mama Pig & Hammy), 1 black silkie (Mama Silkie; her two 'sisters' were killed by possums a few weeks ago
), another RIR hen who
refuses to lay even though she is over a year old
, a house cat, and a 10 year old leopard gecko! I'm in school studing to
become a RVT (Registered Vet Tech) here in Indiana, and my goal is to be as self-sufficient here on the farm, as well as in life. I'm ready
for spring, because my 900 sq. ft. garden plot is calling me!
Thanks again to everyone who has helped me in the past,
and thanks in advance to all you posters that will help me in the future
For all you other 'new eggs',
... you're gonna LOVE it here!!!
