Colorado...but home is Maine
I simply can't get off the site. I have been drooling over different incubators. So much so that i have gathered all the supplies except a few to build a Bread Box Bator like MissPrissy. I have coveted other peoples chickens, reveling in the different feather styles and color variations. I have ooh'ed and aahh'ed over fuzzy butts. I have read, with a great deal of dismay, over the losses of chickens due to negligent dog owners and wildlife. My name is Melissa and I am a BYC addict.

My name is Beth and I am a chicken-a-holic.

When I first got chickens I thought I would just have some chickens. Now I am in the same boat as you! I have a chicken breed Wish List, I am buying in incubator in a month or two, and now I have ducks!!!

We need a 12 step program.

Well I'm here to tell you that I've been doing this for 42 years now and it don't get any better. Raising poultry! There is no end in sight. You'll always find new and interesting birds. The best advice I can give is to just hold on and enjoy the ride!
