Through a online search years ago, I have been using BackYardChickens.com for years as I learned about chickens and planned my flock and coop.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Gardening, sustainable living, off-grid living, motorcycles, traveling, fishing.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
My partner and I live off-grid. We have a dog, a barn cat and the chickens/guinea fowl. I own a small business that allows me to work from home.

Welcome Mainewoods! we also have been long time readers of BYC until we joined a few hrs before you. We are receiving so much helpful info as well as warm welcomes immediately! We read over 100 pages at one stretch following BYC members and Hurricane Harvey. We do have to remind ourselves to tend to our other activities online at times as we could stay on this site for hours. Anything you need to know or want to share, you have a great and nurturing audience.
