Hey, all you lurkers! (I mean YOU!) Register and talk to us!

LOL...I lurked for about a year and couple months before joining...lol....not really sure why I didn't just join to begin with duhhh.

I love this place

I lurked for three weeks because I was planning for chickens this spring and so had no hands-on experience or expertise to contribute... then I found the social threads.

Then I joined so I can cheer on the smokers who are quitting, the job-hunting, and everybody else who needs it! At least I'm finally building a coop now, so I know *something.* Chicks arriving in late March, "Lord willing and the creek don't rise."

Good to hear from the recovering lurkers! Any other suggestions on what we need to do to convert your fellow lurkers into BYC'ers?

Great ideas! I will request permission from our feed store. I know of one person in my area who knows about BYC, not counting all of my non-chicken friends who hear all about it!

Seriously, 694 guests on right now?

Can at least 20 of you join to tell us why you haven't joined?

Well, I'm not lurking at the current moment as I finally got the nerve up to join back towards the end of January. I do have so say I was one of the 'lurkers' for quite some time before that. I guess it mostly was just wanting to see if it was the right fit for me, so I looked at quite a few threads and kind of got the general feel for the place. I feel much at home now and even tho I have been around poultry since I can remember, I still learn something every time I come on here. Oh, and can't forget the good laughs to be had from some of the characters here.

Almost 500 lurkers on right now!?!?!

You peeps gotta join and let us know why you haven't joined yet!!!
