Hello BYC community!

My name is Shari. I come from a beautiful part of North Idaho. I am married, have 5 grown children (3 mine, 2 my DH's) and 4 grandchildren so far. The only pet besides chickens is a cat. We have a house on 5 wooded acres, with a vegetable garden that is expanding this year. My husband and I work together at the same company. We have lots of interests including scuba diving, camping, 4 wheeling, boating, hunting and fishing,

I have 3 laying hens that I acquired from my sister, along with their small coop last year. We are in the process of building a larger coop to house the 8 chicks( 2 gold laced wyandottes, 1 silver laced wyandotte, 2 americaunas, 3 different colored sex links) that are in the brooder now, I have a Blue Andalusian ordered, coming Friday. Hopefully I will be adding 4 more depending on the answer to a message that I sent another member here. I have planned to pass the small coop and older hens on to the neighbor when she is ready for them.

I found this amazing site from several Pintrest pins. I have spent the better part of yesterday and ALL of today, glued to my laptop on here. I now have a firm plan for the interior design of the coop, as well as plans for better feed and watering systems. Thanks to the informative members on this site. I will hopefully have pictures to share soon!
I look forward to many more hours gaining knowledge and getting to know other members.

Nice intro, Shari! I enjoyed reading about your large family, interests and flock!

Welcome to BYC, Shari. Glad you decided join our flock. Raising chickens is a wonderful experience for children. My granddaughter (pictured in my avatar) loves our chickens. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.
 
Thank you! For all the welcomes! Michael OShay, 3 of my grandchildren(daughters kids) have chickens of their own, so Nana's aren't that special. My son's daughter loves to see the chickens and collect the eggs while she is here. This site is very overwhelming at first but I am sure that in no time I will be zipping around like a pro!

You're welcome. If I can learn to navigate around this site at my age, you can do it too. :eek:)
