Hi from Tasmania, Australia!

[Katemreid]

Hi people, I’m Kate. In no particular order:

• I’ve joined this community on the recommendation of a friend (Hi Mon!), and am looking forward to exploring the articles and discussions
• I last had chooks (chickens to non-Australians) 17 - no 18! - years ago, which were some lovely Plymouth Rocks, beautiful birds who had my small dog completely bluffed
• We have just bought our Forever House on some acreage just outside of Hobart, Tasmania, and are working hard to set up a vege garden, increase native plantings and of course the house. My husband and children are building a luxury apartment in anticipation of buying chooks - hmm, I should go take some pictures before the walls go up
• I won’t be getting a rooster, nor will I be looking to buy and raise chicks, no matter how cute - with full-time work, a family and other hobbies, there just isn’t time in the day to add fluffballs to the mix!
• So far I am amazed by the range of chicken coops on this site - I will have to show my hubby, who will undoubtedly see this as a challenge

So Hi everyone and I look forward to learning by doing!
Kate

G’Day from Far North Queensland Kate Welcome & Congratulations on your new home!

I do hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of the coop build or your flock when they arrive, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
