I've been using BYC ever since I got the hair brained idea this Spring, that I needed chickens in my life. Turns out it was a pretty good idea. Who knew chickens could be so endearing?
Today when I went out for my evening chicken bed check/ lock down , I found that my EE AKA Eggers had flown out of my yard and was sitting on the fence in the alley. The alley is a thoroughfare for local Coyotes and Bobcats and not a good place for frisky chickens, so I yelled "Eggers what the #*? are you doing over there? GET BACK HERE!" and to my surprise she flew back to me. After I installed her in the coop I instantly turned to BYC for wing clipping advice and decided that this is too good a resource not to officially join. So here I am with Eggers, 4 BA's, 1 Dominique, and a GLW.

Glad you joined the flock. Yes they are so endearing I never thought I would grow so attached to mine or how addictive all things chicken can be. I have also found that chickens get to know there names and you can call them like dogs. I have polish and they can't see at the best of times because of there crests so they listen to your more and look for guidance. Maybe you could start chicken training? Be sure to ask lots of questions everyone very friendly and full of useful info. Good luck with your future chicken keeping
