How did you find BYC?

[ashleylancaster]

I HAD JUST BROUGHT HOME MY BABY CHICKS AND DIDNT KNOW HARDLY ANYTHING. SO I STARTED WITH COOP DESIGNS AND YES IT WAS A GOOGLE SEARCH. JUST BROWSED. THEN GOOGLED SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT THE CHICKS A FEW DIFFRENT TIME AND THE BYC WAS THE ONE THAT WAS CONSISTENTLY ON THE LIST SO I FIGURED IT MUST HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW IN ONE PLACE. GUESS WHAT IT DOES .

I found that I had way too much time on my hands, I was productive, getting stuff done, etc. Needed to put a stop to that so I went online and searched for "ways to waste hours of my life" along with "topics I enjoy" like chickens for example, and BYC popped up. Now pesky chores are a thing of the past. I simply sit here enjoying random chicken chat and ignore any and all responsibility.

Before I got my first chickens I was researching for information. I googled things like coop plans, chicken care, etc. BYC kept coming up in all that I googled.

I originally came across BYC when doing my pre-peep research. But it wasn't till after I took an adult school class called Backyard Chickens 101, met some local compatriots, joined an organization called COOP (Chicken Owners Outside Philadelphia.....plug) and got my peeps, that I found myself in need of some expert advice on my SLW with a crossed beak. Actually, it was when I was reading through other folks' coop pages when I stumbled upon "The EGG-Plant." The poster mentioned that one of her girls also had a "wicked" cross-beak, so I PM'd her, and she has been ever so helpful with her practical wisdom. I've been hooked ever since.

I was selling eggs at a farmer's market last year, and a lady brought a dozen eggs, and she mention that she have 2 bantie hens. So we talked about chickens. Then in December, she wanted to know if I could take in the bantie hen, or get another hen for her, as the other one was dying of old age. She said that she would take chicken that is small or is handicapped, so I said that I have a hen whose eye was pecked out, and is in the process of healing. So She said that I should check BYC for info on caring for chickens. One of the best things that I have done!
