Hello Everyone,

I've been reading the forums on BYC for along time, now I have a reason to join. I have six barred rocks and two RIR, twenty two weeks old. Several of them have started laying pullet sized eggs about two weeks, so far 48 eggs laid.

BYC is the best site for interesting info and keeping current with people that I can relate to me with the forum.

I have thirty four years in the Zoological field, about fifteen years in major aviculture collection, now retired. But I missed the animals at the Zoo and wanted to keep my own chickens. I had chickens as a kid and it brings back fond memories watching their antics.

I am very pleased to be a member of BYC.

Hi :welcome

Glad you could join us here! Congratulations on getting back into chicken keeping :clap Those are two lovely breeds you have there and congrats on all those eggs!
Be sure to ask any questions, everyone here to help.

Enjoy your time here on BYC and all the chicken chat :frow

so glad you decided to join us.

You must have had a fascinating career. Congrats on your retirement and all those lovely eggs.

Hint: bet you know, but if not. Steaming instead of boiling makes shelling those really fresh eggs easy

Thank you very much. And yes, it was a fascinating career.

At this point, we don't need to worry about steaming, boiling, frying or cooking our eggs in anyway, we're giving more away to friends and neighbors then we eat. everyone has been waiting and asking for fresh eggs.

Welcome to Backyard chickens Yaacov653 !! I hope you enjoy it and the camaraderie here and everybody that goes nuts over chickens (me being one of them....) Have fun! And ask questions! I am impressed you have kept track of the amount of eggs you have received to date!
