Hello!

[Oatbucket]

I've been on this forum for a few days now and just now found the intro thread. I'm an author, a wife and a mother of three with a new flock of chickens (we've had them for years but our old flock was getting pretty old so they all left late last summer which gave us time to revamp the pen and coop), more new baby chicks arriving in less than two weeks, and three baby geese arriving on Tuesday. In addition to that we also have dogs, cats and gardens. So happy to meet a bunch of people who enjoy talking about poultry!

Thank you all so much! The goose forum has already been immensely helpful to me, pointing me in the direction of links and answering a myriad of questions. I did find the "Where Are You" threads and posted. I will also make good use of the links you've given me.
