I have been noticing the cleverness and variety of images you use for your greetings. it's really nice and makes me smile every time! Good for you!

Hi, Phyllis, I had to look up where Irmo and Ballentine are... What an awesome place you live in South Carolina! I hope you enjoy every aspect of chickening again! You found a great online community here. I look forward to hearing more about your chickens, and you!Hi, new friends!I live on the outskirts of Irmo, in Ballentine, on land. I am free to have yard animals here and have been craving having chickens again like we did when I was 17 and moved here. So I will be doing a search in a moment in the proper Threads to find some. (I already have a closed-in backyard, 'coop', and nesting box with protection.)
Nice to meet you all!
