I have been visiting BYC for a couple of weeks now and have never come across such a great forum! So much info but more importantly so many helpful people.
I'm a new chicken owner who moved from the big little city of Toledo, OH to Dickson, TN. I have never raised anything except kitties and doggies until I inherited a flock of free ranging bantums from the previous owner.
After they were getting picked off by preditors, wild and domestic I was getting attached more than I even knew. I cried for EVERY one I lost.
It all came to head last Nov. when Chicky-Chick was born on the coldest day so far. He/She became an indoor chicken for the winter (silkie) and part of the indoor family.
And the rest is what I call the beginnings of a passion for chickens for a city girl leaning towards a bit of a country gal.
Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself and hope to stay around this great site!
