Welcome to BYC!​
 
What a hearty welcoming committee! I feel at home already. I am gathering pictures soon for my questions. An older neighbor had a stroke and is unable to care for her flock, so I am taking a few at a time in quarantine (and giving her time to sell the rest). Many of my questions arise from the new misfits in the yard. I do miss the simpler times and Garth and I would share Cheezits on the porch and I could let him perch in the kitchen (back of an old wooden chair over a puppy pad) at night. It was me and my roo and no one else. He was the gateway drug. Here I am now. Thanks you for having me. I look forward to our conversations. <3
