Hi BYC; another newbie from NC!

[kla37]

I'm in NC too. Buff orpingtons are wonderful, you'll love them. Predator proofing is definitely important in building coops and runs here!

Thanks all for the warm welcomes...

Looks even more certain that "security" will have to be one of my top priorities; dropped another coyote yesterday when I was out back. Got this one with a pistol while he was sneaking up on a squirrel I was watching on the ground less than 15 yards from me! Guess he had more of the "stupid" gene and less of the "cunning" one!!

"Free Range" is probably not going to be possible for our birds... "tractors" might work...
