Eggs! But, love the personalities, sounds they make. So fun to watch and interact with!

Pet Sitting, writing and reading
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Just Hubby and I with big dogs and a few cats. Wishing for donkeys, gaited horses and Dexter cows!
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Known about BYC since our first clutch 7 years ago. Wish such a larger and diverse group of chicks, and starting the off in an unseasonably hot May, I have questions.
