Hello all!

[Taloula48]

Hello everyone! My mom has had a flock of ladies for years and I decided to get a couple of my own. Definitely has been quite an experience the last few months. Now we're getting ready for their first winter in the Chicago suburbs.

G’Day from down under Taloula48 Welcome and Congratulations!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
