hi everyone i'm so excited i've been visiting for over a year now. (yes i'm a lurker) i tried registering in the spring but it didn't work. i am computer illiterate. but now i'm in. yes you people did it to me. i got my very first chicks after lurking and learned just by listening (reading) since i couldn't get in to ask my own ?s. my chicks are 8 months old now and doing well. yes i understand pictures are required. i'll try one day. i received a beautiful buff cochin rooster free from mcmurray (the only male in the order - beginners luck) i'll be posting as often as can thanks for all the help you guys gave without knowing it
