Long time lurker, first time poster

[Vekja]

I live in the country in Ohio with my two kids, chickens, goats and a few other critters. I made an account tonight because I had a specific question about a new puppy.

I mainly have my chickens to help teach my kids about self preservation and hard work.

You always have so much good advice on this forum!

Thanks guys!

Thank you for the welcome! I do believe I found the right place for my puppy post. I hope I did anyway. She’s okay but she got one of my girls tonight so, I’m pretty bummed. Your welcoming comments are quite helpful though, I have to say.

G'Day from down under Vekja Welcome!

I am sorry to hear about your chicken

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out. This one may be of particular interest:
Topic of the Week - Dogs and chickens

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.

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

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.
