Hi all and thanks for the add! I have never owned chickens before, but have wanted to for years. This year I take the plunge! Very excited! I live in west central wisconsin on acreage, old farm lots of buildings, just 22 acres.

G’Day from down under Wendy

Welcome!

Best wishes to you and your new feathered family when they arrive.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends
