Hi there!

[Silvija]

Hello everybody! I'm visiting BYC for some time now and decided to join. Me and my husband are completely new to raising chickens (and to farm life for that matter but we bought one few month ago and started our new adventure). We have a flock of 16 chickens already. Just could not help ourselves and we have plenty of space and everything is needed to keep them nice and happy. I am looking forward to next summer, we just fell in love with chickens and are planning to have more and different breeds. So winter is good time to study. We are from Lithuania which is more or less a middle of Europe so winters are long and cold enough to sit by the fire and read about chickens.
Have a nice day all!
