I did NOT set about keeping chickens willingly! NO no no I said ...

[ChicaFool]

I ran her out of the back yard 3 times and she kept sneakin' back eating my garden. The 4th day I found a pretty blue egg and told her she could stay! I do believe I've been adopted and brainwashed by that little feathery devil - 6 more chicks have found their home here via the feed store. Walked in looking for feed and walked out with a box o'chicks. How do they do that?!

Hi guys - coming out to thank you all for the guidance I gleaned from BYC. You helped keep Chicka alive and thriving, showed me how to build a brooder and coop and I blame you along with Chicka for turning me into a fool for chickens!

I'm hoping to be able to pay it forward some time and help along others who get drafted into chicken servitude

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! Sounds like Chicka has got you hooked on chickens They do sneak up on you and before you know it you are trapped by their love and affection. Chicka are so easy to fall in love with. As you watch them grow and develop, it just gets more addicting.

Great to hear you save found BYC so helpful and sounds like you are doing great with your birds.

Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat

Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. All of us here at BYC have OCD (Obsessive Chicken Disorder). Beware of "chicken math." Very few BYC members are immune to it. ) Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.

Welcome to BYC!

Yep, it's official...you've been adopted and brought into the fold of crazy poultry lovers. I used to be afraid of chickens due to a couple of unpleasant childhood encounters but am as entranced as they come now. They are so much fun and so very interesting (chicken tv is the best show around). Glad you found that out.

It's nice to have you here!

I was, and am, in the same boat! And just wait till you decide to incubate some! That's a whole different obsession!! LOL

Welcome!!
