Hello Dave and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
It sounds like Princess was a great guy. I hope you find his equal again some day.
That is such a cool idea to run a Chicken Rental! Who'd o' thought?!
Welcome to Backyard Chickens! We are glad you joined the flock! BYC is a helpful site providing all the information you need to know about poultry! There is always space for more members on the BYC roost! I am sorry to hear about princess's loss! You hardly ever find a friendly rooster without him being intimidated or aggressive. You have rescued a lot of animals in the past. Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!
Welcome to BYC. I hope that you enjoy your time here.
This is a useful link of BYC guides to take a look at announcements-feedback-issues-guides.3 I’d suggest including your location using the guide in that link, if you have not already done so. You can use this link to contact members in your area - Find your State's thread.
Your's must be one of the most interesting intro's I've ever read. Hope you'll join in conversations and pass along some of what you've learned.
Since you enjoy building so much, you might enjoy checking out the Coops/Runs section here:chicken-coops.12. Maybe you can share some of your builds with us.
