I’m bad at puns ...

Welcome to BYC... puns are optional, but sarcasm is required...

Uh oh! If you're already obsessed with chickens and you don't even have any yet, you are in big trouble! Forget building a coop, better get started on a chicken mansion... of course, you could aways settle for one of those yards that has like 5 or 10 separate coops so all your birds have a place to sleep.

Getting new chicks is so exciting! I may be getting a few more this spring, too. I don't NEED them, but I just WANT them. I'd love to help enable your passion, so I will direct you to some of my favorite articles that will hopefully get you started in the right direction:

Do you allow members who post without any poultry puns? From my quick look around, it seems to be a requirement!

Hi - I’m Anne in Vermont. I live on a beautiful, mostly wooded hillside with my beloved, who owns many vehicles including 1947 Ford 8N tractor. If there are tractor nerds among you, I understand that you’re jealous.

I’m at the age where I’m slowing down, working part time, gardening more. I took it into my head that I wanted to get chickens, and became completely obsessed, apparently overnight. Many of my coworkers are chicken people, so perhaps that’s how I caught this bug. I see I found a place where I’m in good company!

I hope to start with chicks this spring. I can’t wait!

Hi Anne nice to meet you and it's great you joined the site. I have a collection of old tractors. I have a fordson dexta, fordson standard n, 2 grey fergies and a massey 35x. I like the ford 8n but they are as rare as hens teeth in UK! No pun intended!

I started with 6 and now I have 27. So I have about 6.

Sounds familiar!

Of course we are not all are queen pun's Anne but always Welcome to Backyard Chickens from one old lady to another

You'll catch the pun bug too I bet! When I "slowed down" I sped up with just a few chickens. Ask the forum to define "few" and see what you get! Welcome!
