Some people seem to think obsession is a bad thing -- not here! Chickens are how it started for me. Then ducks. Then a couple of geese.
As I was preparing for a slight surgical procedure yesterday, I was explaining to the prep nurse the nutritional difference between chicken eggs and duck eggs, and how some birds lay all winter and others don't (in all fairness, SHE started it by asking me what I'd done in the morning before I came in; I just saw it as an opportunity to educate. lol).
I try to check out BYC every day because I am always able to find something of value -- sometimes educational, sometimes just entertaining. People here are always willing to help you, share their expertise and when you need it, emotional support.
Welcome aboard! I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
