Good Morning everyone!! I'm a long time looker and haven't gotten around to post yet!! I have been following your thread for a year now! I mainly get to check in when I'm at work and I'm not able to post pictures from work. I kept telling myself Id make an introduction post from home but never get around to it.
Anyway, I wanted to ask

Anyway, I wanted to ask Bob, have you thought about getting the chicks DNA tested? Apparently its pretty easy to do by mail, many people use it for silkie chicks. One way to get them earlier for you.

A little introduction.
I live in northern NY, drive through the Adirondack mountains to work every day. I currently have 5-1 year old hens and 7 babies (4 weeks) in the brooder. I only started this journey about a year ago. I found myself with free time now that my children are older.
I also have 3 cats and an elderly Pomeranian. It has been quite the adventure! I just wanted to say how much I thoroughly enjoying reading all your posts and especially seeing pictures of everyone's beautiful flocks!!

Hi! Welcome to the best thread around, supported by some amazing ppl!

Welcome to the tribe! It is so nice to have you come out of the shadows. Hopefully we can meet your tribe someday.

I was not aware that genetic testing was Acadian. I'm going to research this a little and see what is involved. I would likely need to select a few more than I wanted but it is interesting indeed.

Is North Bangor near Malone? I've been to Potsdam several times but never went on to Malone. For everyone else, it appears that is essentially almost in Canada. Very close to Montreal, relatively speaking. Someone has a real winter!

I will also add that I'm just learning to navigate a forum. First one I have ever joined

I am glad that you have stopped just lurking and actually dropped in!
I am a new chicken keeper (as of May of last year) and BYC and this forum and THIS thread in particular is a Godsend. The friends here have taught me more about chickens than I could have learned in ten years!
Not even to mention the EMOTIONAL support.
Welcome, and tell us more about your fur and feather babies! We love pictures. (Hint).

No way!!! We had a boxer named Otis! What are the odds for that, I wonder?
