Hi everyone, I am Byrne. I am from Northwest CT and have been reading about BYCs and planning for almost 2 years now. My dream is just about to become a reality and I am suddenly a little nervous! I have plenty of book knowledge, but need the hands on now... and I imagine I will learn A LOT more as I go along. I plan on starting with about 6 hens and a roo.... I have thought about the breeds I want which include a Black Copper Mara Roo, 2 black Maran hens, 2 silver or golden laced Wyandottes and 2 Amarcanas.
As you can see in my name, I also have dogs, so they will be on one side of the invisible fence while my hens will be on the other (separated by a sturdy fence so they wont be looking at each other)
My biggest road clock I am about to encounter is.... wrong season, the chicks are gone and I dont seem to be able to find these breeds right now. So I am taking things one day at a time... setting up the coop and run.... reading and planning until the birds are available. I am so excited and looking forward to meeting other people that can share advise, encouragement and just chat!
