Hi BYC!!!! I'm so very happy to be a member
!!!! I recently purchased six chicks and two ducks from Tractor Supply Co and have been in love since I heard their first "tweet/quack". I had no idea how quickly they would grow, how messy ducks would be, or how much I would LOVE watching them learn!!!!
I've been using BYC as a guideline for raising, ideas/tips/tricks for designing and building their coop/run... to say that I am thankful for BYC would be a GROSS understatement.
I will be updating pics of my new feathered family and also posting my "joy" in designing and building my coop/run.
My roots are in farming (my mom grew up on a Dairy Farm in mid-Missouri during the 60's (they had chickens, too) and my father grew up as an agri-farmer during the 50's). I think my grandparents would be "proud" of me.
A BIG shout out to all of you on BYC .... I would be LOST w/o this site and everyone's advice.
YAY!!!!!!
