zaz,
Welcome to our crazy coop! I'm from KS. I still consider myself a newbie since I've only had chickens In April of 2008. This is the best place to get opinions and advice.
Yes Welcome!!!!! And This Is Almost An Addiction For Me! This Site Is Great! Everyone Is Helpful And All On The Same Page About Most Things! Really Great! Glad To Have Found It Just Before I Got Chickens Too!!!
