Introduction

[Ceddrwyn]

My name is Katherine. I live in south Carolina on 57 acres and I am looking into being a self sustaining homesteader. I have three kids and experience with baby chicks. My plan is to start slow and see where I go.

G’Day from down under Katherine Welcome!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

Hi Katherine and welcome to our community. It's a wise choice to start off small and see how things develop. I wish you the best of luck.
