First day..

[Cluckeriffic]

Hello all! It's my first day here at BYC.

I lived in the country many years ago and had a few hens back then.
Fast forward.
Kids are grown and alas.. I have been in an apartment (enter violins) for 7 YEARS.

Now I am moving across state, out in the country in Eastern Washington. I don't know when I will get chickens, and it won't be that many, since its pretty much just me and my dogs.

Chickens create an atmosphere I love. They represent something wholesome, self sufficient, friendly, and light hearted.

I speculate on breeds that sound good to me, but I will likely go with what opportunity puts in front of me where I am moving to.

Which brings me to a request, I need to start packing and I am overwhelmed! Please... send some prayers and good thoughts my way to motivate me to move this "mountain" over the Cascade mountains to Eastern Washington. Thanks! !

As a woman alone, who doesn't know a soul where I am going, this is a HUGE adventure, All so I can be at home in the country again!

You are right on with your attitude towards chickens. Very similar to the way I view them. Hope you get some lovely birds in the future. All the best and prayers sent your way!

Welcome to BYC! I'm glad you are going to be able to get chickens again. I have moved a number of times (long distances) in my life so I know how much trouble moving can be. Our prayers will go with you as you travel over the Cascade Mountains and into your new adventure. God bless.

I love your avatar. You may want to subscribe to the Washington state thread, lots of very helpful people on there - very robust, fast moving thread - so just jump in and paddle. They could give you tons of advice about where chickens are allowed, who has what, etc. - you could start making friends before you move.

Best wishes for a satisfying move.
