This forum's for people who like chickens, whether you own chickens or WANT to own chickens!
I didn't lurk, I found the forum on a Google search, saw all the lovely people talking chickens and jumped in. Now I spent 90% of my time here talking about other things 

That's actually very true.

And to Nifty's comment: lol

I joined after about two days of lurking. I found my peeps!

Sadly though, I will not be able to have any chickens in the near future. I'll be getting involved in the urban backyard chicken movement though. I really hope that catches on and the stupid HOA rules change! Meanwhile, I'll enjoy everybody else's chickeny experiences by reading this board.

I found this site when I just had some baby chicks- thanks to my husband saying, 'don't take those eggs I marked she's been sitting on them to long, I'm letting her keep them'.. He's so sweet :-/
I only lurked for a few days & am also guilty of posted when I found a post I may have been able to answer lol I will confess to know nothing about chickens & don't know how I've had them so long without!
I can't post photos from my phone & have none on my computer. So I searched tons of photos of baby chicks and swore the baby's were going to be black or grey silkies. Silkie mom was sitting on them..
But guess I have mutt chickens now - they have Silkie feet but are black and white like the silver laced Wyandottes?!!

I think it starts with google...someone thinks about chickens and googles...and then that leads them here...but that question leads to another that leads to a topic, that leads to a discussion, and then you are lurking often and just reading and reading, and then you are like Hey, I'll sign up
