Hey tinychicky, I love horses too. I don't have any of those right now either though. I don't mind so much in this kind of weather. It is supposed to be VERY cold this weekend.
rancher hicks - yes, it is a great place to live, except maybe for the property taxes.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Did I mention I can't wait to get my chicks??
to the addicting...er... wonderfully fascinating hobby of keeping chickens! you will soon learn that they are like those potato chips....you just can't keep one!
you may want to check out the chicken swaps and shows thread to set yourself up with other locals that sell chicks and birds. it is a little early to get chicks but most of us hatch year round here in New England and can give you some tips of good breeds for the area! good luck!
We are in for a cold weekend!! So glad you joined BYC. This site has been a life saver (literally). I know you will have a lot of joy and fun with your new chicken adventure. It will be worth the wait
