Thanks, puffypoo22! Hubs and I like to research the heck out of any new activity we take on, and this is no exception. Plus it's just plain fun to learn about!

Anyway, it sounds like it's pretty common to lose a chick or two early on, and I really want to make sure that if that happens, it wasn't from something that might have been preventable. Some chicks are not going to make it I guess, but I don't want to add to those chances.

I do 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 when they arrive, 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

Best wishes for a bright and cheerful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
