Hello

It has just crossed my mind that all the members i have seen on here so far are on the other side of the pond.

Hi i'm Reg & I live in Luton, England.

I'm just about to do a mad thing. Yes Chickens, been saying i would for 30 years now i'm 54 its time.

Work starts this weekend if it don't snow !

So are there many members from uk on here ? Not that it matters chickens are chickens where ever they are I guess.

But if somebody asks for advice on what to do if a mountain Lion keeps taking your birds i'm going to have to pass we dont get to many lions in Luton.

Anyway good to be here.

Wise? No, just crazy like the rest of us. Welcome anyway.

BYC has plenty of UK members. Some of us even speak your language.

Yes there are some fellow chicken lovers on here from your 'neck of the woods'! I can't think of any of their names right now, but I know I have seen some. Welcome! I just my first chicks last April and have had fun with them all summer. I am looking forward to getting some more this spring. Enjoy your new hobby!

A warm welcome from an imp in Washington state.

There are lots of members on BYC from England and other parts of Europe. Where is Luton?

Imp- I'm boxing up a Mt. Lion to send to you. Did you realize joining was going to be such an adventure?

As far as I know there are quite a few members from your side of the pond.

As far as you joining BYC I am not sure it is the wisest decision. The people here are quite the enablers. If you ask should I get say... another 5 chickens they are all gonna say you need them.

debiraymond is one of the biggest enablers here!!!

Its worse than an alcholic asking if he should have a drink. Most people would say no.

BYCers always say you need more chickens.

Welcome to the group. You will love it.
