G'Day from down under harmonymw Welcome!

I 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.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out.

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your flock and/or other critters, 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

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

I used to. Now the school age ones go to public, which we refer to as “the babysitter”

Welcome to the flock.

FYI, the only other forum I’ve ever belonged to was Babycenter, so I’m sure I’ll commit grave faux pas here, at which point you can just flat out tell me without sugar-coating. I cannot be offended as I don’t have human feelings.
