  Welcome to byc dmountford !

(I heard the sleet coming down last night before I went to bed but I NEVER thought we'd wake up to a layer of snow today!!!!)

Ugg I know. Hopefully that's the last of the white crap we till next winter

I finally went to my first ever tractor supply store up in Farmingtown, CT. Only reason I was there was cause I took my sister to a pre-employment physical in Bristol. The store is much better then agway with better prices. Cracked/whole corn is $10 for 50 lbs bag and $14.50 for layer pellets and so much more gear for chickens compared to agway.. Nice area.

I was just made aware of the fact that Barnes Nature Center over here in Bristol will "rent" out baby chicks to people for a week at a time.

Forgive me if I am over reacting, but WTH!!

an acquaintance of mine just posted about it. She rented 1 chick for a week. I just feel like this is so wrong on so many levels.

'Tis the season for run improvements (also posted in coop and run thread). Planning to grow vines up the trellis panels side.

My ladies spent their first night outside last night! I did use the heat lamp and was a nervous wreck without their little chirping inside all night. But they seemed to be fine. They don't come to me when I open the big coop door yet, but I think it's just because it's new. They were very social inside the house.
