WELCOME! Check out Backyard Livestock too. I believe it's a sister to BYC. Lot's of interesting things there on donkeys and the such. Be sure to stick around here too though. If you are interested in chickens eventually, there's no better site to learn and share knowledge and experiences on the subject matter of chickens. I've met great people, learned a lot about chickens and now quail too, and even adopted some birds from fellow members who have bred or rescued them. Mine is a small flock of 7 chickens and 52 quail chicks (just hatched!) as well as one adult quail we adopted from another BYC member who rescued him.
